Quarantine clean mail into SQL database

To quarantine clean mails into SQL database, please follow below steps:

Configure Amavisd to enable quarantining

• Edit Amavisd config file, find below settings and update them. If it doesn't exist, just add them.
  • on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Scientific Linux, it's /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf.
  • on Debian/Ubuntu, it's /etc/amavis/conf.d/50-user.
  • on FreeBSD, it's /usr/local/etc/amavisd.conf.
  • on OpenBSD, it's /etc/amavisd.conf.

$clean_quarantine_method = 'sql:';
$clean_quarantine_to = 'clean-quarantine';

• Find policy bank 'MYUSERS', append two lines in this policy bank:

$policy_bank{'MYUSERS'} = {
    ...
    clean_quarantine_method => 'sql:',
    final_destiny_by_ccat => {CC_CLEAN, D_DISCARD},
}

• Make sure you have '@storage_sql_dsn' enabled. For example:

@storage_sql_dsn = (
    ['DBI:mysql:database=amavisd;host=127.0.0.1;port=3306', 'amavisd', 'qAv9CYva0vHA1GCX0J9f23WJvqRzt7'],
);

• Restart Amavisd service.

That's all. Now all clean emails sent by your mail users will be quarantined into SQL database. if you have iRedAdmin-Pro, you can manage (release or delete) quarantined emails with it.
