Hi Maxime

I guess you are using version 1.25st, you better upgrade to version 
2.01st, there is a permission issue with 1.25st and it will be 
difficult to access to the maildir where the mails are quarantined 
(unless you use a crojob, see below).

Let the default value of $smaildir_site unmodified and the spam mails 
will be quarantined in /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/spam/new

You also have to set $sa_quarantine_site to a proper value, for 
example '2', then mails over 7 points will be quarantined (as you 
probably have required_hits = 5)

The easiest way to access via IMAP that mails if to set a cronjob 
that 'moves' the content of /var/spool/qscan/quarantine/spam/new to 
the mailbox (maildir...) you wish to use for checking false 
positives, the job have also to set appropriate permissions of these 
files.

Good luck
