#!/bin/csh
find /var/spool/MD-Quarantine -type d -mtime +60 -exec mv {} /data/archive/`date
+%y-%b` \;
cd /data/archive/`date +%y-%b`
tar cvf archive.tar qdir*
rm -rf qdir*

Question - why do you want to save quarantined messages and attachments?  Is it
not better to examine them, release any which are important, and delete the
rest?

Best Wishes,

Paul.
