That's great Matt, Thanks!

Skip that last reply, I'm a terrible reader.
immsgexp will traverse a directory tree without a problem:
C:\IMail\immsgexp.exe -tE:\ -d7 -mSpam.mbx
This will search the entire E: drive for any file called Spam.mbx and then
clean it out. to 7 days worth of messages. I've been doing this for several
years without issue.

Dean, I'm not sure if this is close to what you're looking for, but

addition to the forfiles command, the "for" command that is built
into
the command shell can be very handy, particularly if you're only
going
one directory deep.
Check it out:
for /?
For example, you can do
this to loop through the directories:
For /D %i in (c:\*.*) do @echo
%i
Which will print out all of the directories in your c:\ drive's
root.
The "/D" part of that can change to various other letters depending
on
what you want to loop through.
Another example; if you want to just loop
through the files in a given
folder you don't use any parameter there:
for
%i in (c:\imail\spool\d*.smd) do @echo %i
Which will print out all of the
files that look like messages in your
IMail spool folder.
You mentioned
that you wanted just file or folder names or some
variation, and that can be
done as well. I should explain that the %i
in my examples is just an
arbitrary letter I used for the counting and I
used it to match the output
of the "for /?" command. You can use any
letter you like, and if you use the
"for" command in a batch file, you
need to "escape" the % by repeating it,
i.e. use %%i instead of %i, or
%%X instead of %X.
With the "for" command
you can use expand that %i variable in a
path/file name to the fully
qualified path, the filename, the extension,
or a combination of them.
Use
the "for /?" for the full examples, but here's a real-world example.
In one
folder, I wanted to replace all of the web log files for last
month with one
zip file per log file (e.g. zip up the log file into the
appropriately named
zip file).
This was very easy for the "for" command:
for %i in
(w30607??.log) do wzzip -mex %~ni.zip %i
The ~n modified the %i so that
although %i became w3060701.log the
parameters passed to wzzip looked
like:
wzzip -mex w3060701.zip w3060701.log
... And so on for all the log
files found.
I know that doesn't help with the spam removal part of your
task, but I
hope it helps you with the ability to run a script against the
folders
and files you want.

[Declude.JunkMail] OT: Spam folder cleaning script.
Hi All,
I was
wondering if anyone had a spam mailbox cleaning script
that they would like
to share. I am already using
immsgexp.exe to clean-up all user mailboxes
that have
messages over 60 days old. I have just implemented moving
mail
to a Spam mailbox under each users account and would
like to clean out any
mail over 15 days old.
I can run forfiles.exe to get a list of all users
with Spam
mailboxes, but the @path variable is including the file name
not
just the directory path. With immsgexp.exe you need to
specify the folder
path as one switch and then the mailbox
with a second switch. So I need to
be able to retrieve just
the folder path. Which brings me back to my
original
question, anyone want to
share?
Thanks,
Dean
