compress/tar archive mail dirs

[Julian Field]

Take a look at the clean.quarantine cron job that comes with the Linux
versions of MailScanner. That deletes quarantines/archives that are over a
certain age, but it would be pretty easy to make it tar and compress them
instead of delete them. Then just reduce the "1 month" to "2 days".
