Agreed, and that is why my comments also allowed for other options. >> Then all you need is a simple script that deletes based on file age. > exactly, but, that should NOT be a task for ASSP; Agreed, and that is why my comment stated that only *example/sample* scripts should be provided along with appropriate $scary-warnings about their use, and leave their implementation to the sysadmin. >> Maybe this process could be moved to a separate worker thread > No, seriously, such a "cleanup" is NOT a task for ASSP, Ummm... read more closely what I was replying *to* - your concern about extra overhead from processing these attachments (stripping/replacing with link/linktext)... or at least, that is how I read your comment as to referring to. I wasn't talking about the *cleanup*. >> 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 I agree, but I meant this in the context of documenting different known methods of accomplishing this task, which it would make sense for AASP to do (again, along with appropriate $scary-warnings) *if* it were to implement attachment stripping/replacing with link/linktext in the first place, because said scenario would obviously be an FAQ for anyone thinking about implementing this feature.
