Yeah :) when you use rm * then * turns into every file in the directory. Thus if you have 2000 files there then the list is too long (for example) But I figured out better way :) What if you symlink this quarantine directory to /dev/null? :) All the files would automagically disappear. Yet it could be better to be able to disable this quarantine function which would safe few functions per email thus faster runtimes.
