I have a cron job running that empties the quarantine directory at the
end of the day. That way, I get a little time to deal with it
(unmangle, forward - whatever). If I dont deal with it, it doesnt
matter because I've got the notification message to forward to the
user in question, and they can ask the sender to send it again.
