To avoid a copy going to quarantine you can either raise kill_level to some very high value: $sa_kill_level_deflt = 9999; or disable spam quarantine: $spam_quarantine_to = undef; A large number of leftover amavis directories in /var/amavisd/tmp may indicate a problem that requires further investigation. See: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/#faq-gen Amavisd-new has no built in mechanism to remove files in a local quarantine. It is up to you to maintain the quarantined items.
