How do you change the number of days to keep in quarantine?

I note the cron.daily clean.quarantine script has now gone after the latest updated.
How do I reduce the days to keep in quarantine rather than increasing disk space?

In /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php
Code: Select all
define('QUARANTINE_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 30);
clean.quarantine is superceded with quarantine_maint.php
/usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/quarantine_maint.php
This script is referenced in
/etc/cron.daily/mailwatch

Perfect thanks
I've dropped to 15 days for space reasons until I can extend /var

I am trying to find this same section so that I can cut down the number of days to keep but cannot find it in the php file listed above - has this been moved in an update?

It should be, but if not, you can add it...

Also you must change in file /etc/MailScanner/defaults to q_days= value.
