Hi,
Great idea but I would like that service to be run on one or more specified
times and not each instance a mail is delivered. If the spam mailbox is max
20MB then EVERY time a spam mail is delivered the whole 20MB spam mailbox
file has to be rewritten as you want the oldest mail at the top of the file
to be removed.
Better would be then to have a schedule to do this once (or twice) at night
when the server is relatively idle. I would then set it to make a run like
that in the evening just befoire the backup run starts, and in the morning
just before everyone starts to read/send mail.
Groetjes,
Bonno Bloksma

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail Feature Requests -> Delete mail in sub-mailbox
after X number of days
I don't know if this has been requested. I would like the ability to
automatically delete messages in a sub-mailbox after that mailbox reaches a
certain amount (in megabytes). It would delete the oldest messages first.
SmaterMail has this ability and I really find it useful.
For example:
I route my clients email that fails my SPAM tests to the clients
sub-mailbox called SPAM. I don't trust that my client will actually
delete his/her unwanted mail. I have my threshold set to 20MB. So I would
like to have the messages in the SPAM sub-mailbox deleted from 20MB+, to
let's say 10MB (deleting the oldest messages first). That way if the
client doesn't actively get rid of their mail in the SPAM sub-mailbox, it
will go way on it's own. So the client will always have between 10MB and
20MB of their most recent potential SPAM on hand (so they do have some
time to look at it). I hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Mike
