As a follow-up to my previous message, I have implemented and tested the proposed fix in mimedefang.pl. Other than missing one open { and nesting the success test to create a subdir, the code seems to work perfectly.

Plus our tiny server received over 29K messages that were quarantined yesterday because of some stupid phishing attack so it was just in time! This patch isn't just for big ISPs...

Once you patch things, your quarantine will use a subdir for the day and the hour. For example, while writing this email, it has flipped from 8AM to 9AM in my timezone:

Oct 17 08:59:19 intel1 mimedefang.pl[31021]: n9HCxFtf026507: MSG Quarantined: /var/spool/MD-Quarantine/2009-10-17-08/qdir-2009-10-17-08.59.19-001 Oct 17 09:00:07 intel1 mimedefang.pl[30909]: n9HD034B026858: MSG Quarantined: /var/spool/MD-Quarantine/2009-10-17-09/qdir-2009-10-17-09.00.07-001

I couldn't find the MD Wiki to post the code but it's available at http://www.pccc.com/downloads/MIMEDefang/contrib/get_quarantine_dir_fix_for_32000_limit_README

There is also a unified diff patch to the source for 2.67 at:
