I'm not 100% positive, but I *THINK* it removes quarantined emails (with virus) that are over 30 days old. Zang may want to confirm this though. Not sure why it is disabled by default though...

Not all administrators want to delete them, iRedMail should NOT make too more decisions for admins, it just ready for your use.
