On my systems, I have a store directive in every spam/non-spam action. With
mailwatch I can view / release / re-learn everything I keep there. You can
also set it to only keep X number of days in the quarantine. So I have room to
keep 30 days worth of messages. If they haven't come looking for it by then,
off to the bit bucket it goes.
Archive mail is more for the permanent archival of messages. Maybe by a legal
requirement, or for whatever other reason.
