Summary: Auto Delete Threshold

Initial Comment:
Currently, the only threshold I have is where to make the split between mail 
that gets delivered and mail that is quarantined.  I'd love to have a second 
one that is above that at which dspam will simply delete the message.

Message:
The stock DSPAM quarantine is a MBOX file and there exist probably a
gazillion of applications/tools out there to deal with MBOX files. Just to
name a bunch of them that are capable to process mbox files and delete
messages either based on a date or a regexp executed against the mail
header:
- http://www.argon.org/~roderick/ (search for mbox-purge)
- http://terminal.se/code.html (search for mboxpurge.pl)
- http://github.com/ravidgemole/mailp/blob/master/bin/mailp_deleteMessage
- etc...

DSPAM is not made to DROP messages. It is made to classify messages into
two classes (SPAM / HAM) and do two simple actions (DELIVER / QUARANTINE).

If you need greater control over the quarantine mechanism then use the
feature inside DSPAM to delegate quarantine delivery to a external
application and then build into that external application whatever rules
you would like. It is IMHO easier that way then overloading DSPAM with
features.

Message:
Brave? no... I've been using dspam for about 6 years... if dspam gives a
rating of 70% or greater I don't want to look at it.  In fact, most of the
time, I don't even look at the quarantine and when the file gets about 50k
messages (about 2 months) I just delete it.  I don't look at it unless
someone tells me "didn't you get my message?"

However, setting it to delete after x days would certainly mean I don't
have to do it manually.  Is there a setting for that right now?  (it isn't
in the UI, and not in the settings that I see).  That's probably something
I'd want my users to be able to configure.

That sounds brave!
Its pretty easy to set the quarantine to auto delete items x days old -
Would that help?
