[AMaViS-user] Delete message from quarantine

[Terry Carmen]

I've been googling for a while and can't seem to find anything to delete
quarantined messages.

Is there anything similar to amavisd-release, or do I just need to go in
and manually delete the files?

Also, since I'm logging to SQL is there anything I need to do to keep
the database synchronized with reality, besides clearing out the
quar_lock field in the msgs table for each deleted message?

Thanks!

Terry

I, and other, use MailZu-ng. It's a php frontend which allow you to
whitelist and blacklist addresses. It can also be used to release and
to delete emails from quarantine.

I already have an app that handles this, but works with the postfix HOLD
queue. I'm modifying it to work directly with amavis but wanted to make
sure that I wasn't ignoring an existing interface, since "delete" seems
like such basic functionality.

A little more research indicates that omitting the delete functionality
may have something to do with German laws, so I'm going to assume that
it needs to be done manually.

Absence of quarantine deletions is not related to German law. It is just
that I considered a maintenance work on quarantine outside the scope of
amavisd.

There was a recent discussion "AM.PDP: request=delete?"

http://marc.info/?t=125629155200002&r=1&w=2

where Patrick Ben Koetter suggested that it would be useful to extend
amavisd-release to be able to delete a message, especially when it is
stored in SQL. I'm considering it, but no promises.
