Baruwa has custom django manage.py commands to make possible the scripting for tasks such as quarantine management and database management.
With the command "manage.py cleanquarantine", you are able to delete quarantined files older than "Quarantine_days_to_keep". "Quarantine_days_to_keep" is set in the settings.py file.
With "manage.py sendquarantinereports" you will generate a report on your email of the quarantined messages for the past 24 hours.

You can also delete records older than 2 months from the maillog table of the database with "manage.py dbclean".
