New name for "clean.quarantine": /usr/sbin/ms-clean-quarantine

In /etc/MailScanner/defaults, variable for Quarantine Retention must be "q_days=0"

No need to delete ms-clean-quarantine.

Debian Jessie need more setup in Mailcanner.conf do works well with clamav, spamassassin and mailscanner.

Example for Exim + Apache.

Run As User = Debian-exim
Run As Group = Debian-exim
Incoming Work User = Debian-exim
Incoming Work Group = mtagroup
Incoming Work Permissions = 0660
Quarantine User = Debian-exim
Quarantine Group = mtagroup
Quarantine Permissions = 0644

In /etc/group:
mtagroup:x:1001:clamav,Debian-exim,mail,www-data

Also the files /etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes_* should be owned by root:mtagroup when using postfix.
Else MailScanner --lint will print errors that it can't access these files
