I have a small perl script that I use to delete them. The difference between
the perl script and those simple rm crontabs is that the perl script will
check if the amavisd-new process is still alive, and if it is, it won't
delete the directory (the last 5 digits are the PID so it's easy to check if
it's alive).

You can get the script from:

http://www.zesoi.fer.hr/~bzdrnja/amavis-clean


You will have to edit your temporary directory at the beginning of the
script.


Cheers,

Bojan
