Look at the instructions to release fromquarantine specific for your
MTA (example: look at postfix->howto->release_form_quarantine ... or
somesuch):
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=&idx=documentation:configuration:mta
.... provided your archived mail files are the actual queue files
(they couldbe other things as well.... like mbox files...). If you use
Postfix, you can use the postcat command to look at the content of the
queue file.
