There is already a "clean.quarantine" script that I supply with
MailScanner. If you are using the RPM distributions, then you will find it
is already in your /etc/cron.daily directory. However, I ship it disabled.
If you edit it (it's just a text file) you will find a couple of obvious
definitions at the top. One disables the script, the other sets the
lifetime of the quarantine.

Set those 2 values appropriately, and you're away. Most people keep
quarantine for a month or so.
