[Mimedefang] cron script to archive MD-Quarantine

[Matthew.van.Eerde at hbinc.com]

My /var/spool/MD-Quarantine directory starts to get full after a while.

I'm thinking of writing a cron.monthly script.

On (say) October 1st it will take everything in MD-Quarantine previous to September 1st (that is, up to August 31st) and throw it into a .tar file (say, /var/spool/MD-Quarantine-Archive/previous-to-2004-09-01.tar)

This way I can use my unquarantine.bat file to pull things out of quarantine for at least a full month.  After that I have to ssh in to the server and untar, but I can still unquarantine indefinitely.  (Until I start running out of disk space...)

Has anyone already done something like this and is willing to share code?  Or perhaps has another approach?
