Yes, that's why I have a completely separate quarantine folder, plus on a busy
server where you are quarantining a lot of large messages, in theory the
quarantine could fill the disk and kill the mail system.

Odd - this should work if the web user is in the www-data group.  The best way
to resolve this sort of thing is to use "su" from root to become the web user,
and try to browse the qdir folders.  When you have the permissions set
correctly, the script will work.

Given that the main quarantine list is OK, the folders must already be
accessible, as the main list opens the sender, recipient and headers files from
each folder, as well as the entity header files and the message files which say
why it was quarantined.  

Best Wishes,

Paul.
