[Esd-l] Something new

[Chris Payne]

If you redirections quarantined files to $HOME/  you void all 
reasons to poison files.  We poison files not on behalf of
the sender, on behalf of our users because they run any/all 
attachments that they receive.

SECURITY_QUARANTINE="/var/spool/mail/quarantine/" 
directory is my personal choice.
