MailScanner Archive Option

[Monis Monther]

Dear Jules:

Thanks for your response , I have this option set to no

Quarantine Whole Messages As Queue Files = no

Quarantine saves messages as RFC 822 messages (which is very nice)

But archived messages are still saved as queue files and to retrieve them is
hard.

Any help please

These are my Archive settings from MailScanner.conf

Archive Mail = /var/spool/MailScanner/archive
Missing Mail Archive Is = directory




Glenn: your approach might be interesting to store only clean messages in
quarantine


Thanks for everyone
