I think it's time to throw out TrendMicro, no?

I would imagine the TrendMicro warnings are pretty easy to recognize.  You
should be able to write code to discard them.  You can probably do it even
before you call SpamAssassin to cut down on your load.

That's much less efficient than:

find /var/spool/MD-Quarantine -type d -mtime +5 | xargs rm -r

If you have GNU tools, then a safer alternative is:

find /var/spool/MD-Quarantine -type d -mtime +5 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r
