mailscanner ran out of space

[JD]

It actually turned out that my quarantine wasn't so bad. I was my maillogs
that were taking up all of the space in /var/log. I had maillog.# that were
reaching up to 500mb a piece.

By the way peter, I have family friends that live in Enschede. Henk Goedhart
who works in Holec. I just went and visited, its a nice area.

I've had this same problem and I had to decrease the time we keep the
files in quarantaine. At this moment we don't quarantaine a number of
virusses anymore (some ppl at the helpdesk even released some of them,
now they can't do that anymore) so their is more space for false
positives.
