Yipes!  Is there a compelling business reason to keep running 
Exchange?

You can change the value of $QuarantineDir in mimedefang-filter 
whenever you like.  I'm doing this to keep quarantined spam separate 
from viruses, like so:

> my ($tmpQuarantineDir) = $QuarantineDir;
> $QuarantineDir = $QuarantineDir . "/spam";
> action_quarantine_entire_message("$report\n");
> $QuarantineDir = $tmpQuarantineDir;

You could then run a daily cron job on your "good" quarantine to 
remove anything more than three days old.
