Kevin, That functionality sounds like you got it right, but I might suggest that you have the GUI configuration target specifically only certain automatically created folders and not a user's entire account. You could let administrators use the command line to clean beyond these base directories. FYI, SmarterMail allows you to configure each of the built-in folders independently, and it also gives the end-users and domain administrators the ability to override the auto-clean settings. That certainly fixes issues where a single exception (customer) ruins the entire setup, but this might be far beyond what you were thinking, and I'm sure that most everyone would appreciate having this added functionality as described. Adding exceptions though would be something to also consider, i.e. another command line switch to ignore folders with a certain string in them.

Scripting is nice but being able to configure via gui, at domain level, would be nice.regarding this one - "To have "the" spam folder auto delete action triggered on the percentage of the size compared to either the mailbox size or the percentage free size." How does this sound? 1. Set max and "delete down to" size limits. Use Case: When box hits 20MB, delete oldest messages until size is 10MB. 2. Ad IMail Message Expunger (immsgexp.exe) capability to gui with options to delete all mail older than x days or older than #DATE# such as Jan 1, 2005. bye for now, kg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Darin Cox Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 2:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] IMail Feature Requests -> Delete mail in sub-mailbox after X number of days I missed the size requirement in my prior post, but this could be scripted fairly easily. Just check the size of the mailbox file and run the utility to delete email x days old if needed.

I would expand on it though to also allow the deletion by date as well as according to size. SmarterMail lacks the date functionality and it would be a nice thing to have. IMail has a utility that can handle the dates, but it has to be run from the command line currently and would benefit from some GUI stuff in addition to the size and per domain settings. Matt Michael Graveen wrote: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.
