Hi,
I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the location of the emails that have the attachment of the virus? Sometimes its a false alert and wanted to check the attachment myself

Thank you
 
I think you're looking for this directory: /var/spool/pmg
The quarantined spam and virus mails will getting saved there as normal mail files. If you're running a cluster, look into the cluster directory and find your spam and virus folders there.
 
Thanks for the reply, i checked but i see the folders but its empty. How long does it store? as on the WebGUI i still see the email

What do you get with:

> ls -al /var/spool/pmg/

and:

> du -sh /var/spool/pmg/
