A couple of notes on this quite useful script: My mktemp does not support -p (FreeBSD 12.1) is I had to change the script to: DIR_TEMP=$($MKTEMP_COMMAND -d $TMP_FOLDER -t $SCRIPT_NAME) Which gives a temp folder along the lines of /tmp/dovecot_backup.IiZ00GyZ I also changed the various date strings to date -Iseconds and date -R for the mail handling since the format in the script is not to spec, using Fri, 29 May 2020 23:49:31 (-0600) Instead of the -R, --rfc-email output date and time in RFC 5322 format. Example: Mon, 14 2006 02:34:56 -0600 -- FRIDAYS ARE NOT "PANTS OPTIONAL" Bart chalkboard Ep. AABF23
