well... that fits your reality, but when it comes to a program (ASSP) used in a number of different other realities, you can't just look at "me and here" ... please :) ! > Then all you need is a simple script that deletes based on file age. exactly, but, that should NOT be a task for ASSP; all ASSP should do (given this will ever be implemented) will be storing the attachments and stripping them from the given message, replacing them with an URI; all the manteinance of the attachments storage should instead be offloaded to whatever *external* script which the adming may schedule at will and configure as he likes more > Maybe this process could be moved to a separate worker thread No, seriously, such a "cleanup" is NOT a task for ASSP, it should be handled separately; sure, it may be included inside the "rebuild" but, again, I do NOT believe that this is something ASSP should deal with, see, one may just want to delete files "older than"; someone else may instead want to compress them and then remove older archives, another one may want to upload them on some "cloud storage" and then some... so, this does NOT belong to ASSP; a separate script will fit and, all in all, a decent admin should be able to put together such a script and fit his personal needs :) > The biggest problem that I see for someone like me is what to do > about *existing* mailstores. Whatwe would also need is a script that > runs against an existing mailstore that rips out the attachments > (creating the MD5SUM), replaces them with the link/linktext and this is totally OT, nothing ASSP can or should do; sure, finding a solution to the above may be a need for someone, but this isn't a task for ASSP or the ASSP developers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Assp-test mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-test
