[Modus] spam directory

[Jon Benson]

No harm other then the chance of deleting false positives that would have otherwise ended up in quarrantine.   It should recover eventually as long as you don't have over 65k files in there.  If you have over 65k it can have a bit of trouble recovering it seems.   Jon Benson Mail/DNS/Linux Administrator OzHosting.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of TIASpeed Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2003 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] spam directory another quick question. from a command line, we could delete the items in the spool/spam folder. would there be any problem with that other than the fact that the email would be lost? vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Benson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:10 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory Mail only ends up in the spam spool when it can't make it in to quarrantine.  Either a problem with quarrantine/SQL/ModusAdm can prevent that happening.   As for trying to get info on the folder try ALT-ENTER to get the properties or use "dir" in a command shell rather then explorer.   Explorer chokes on folders with large numbers of files.   Jon Benson Mail/DNS/Linux Administrator OzHosting.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of TIASpeed Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2003 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Modus] spam directory yeah, i don't know what really happens in the spam folder. but mine is usually no more than 150 with 2,600 mailboxes. i'm very confused and somewhat concerned, because mail is apparently not being delivered vince   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jon Saunders - SECPA To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 4:34 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory I just checked on mine, it has 53,000 and is also growing - I don't know what it runs normally.  We are fairly small and don't do that much mail.  What is weird I show nothing in the quarentine.  My sievedata.mdb is only at 37M   ----- Original Message ----- From: TIASpeed To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:55 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory ok, it's up to 60,000 now and growing like crazy outgoing mail that i send takes forever vince ----- Original Message ----- From: Total Internet Access To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 3:37 PM Subject: [Modus] spam directory i have over 55,000 messages in my spam directory under the vopmail/spool. I have never had over 365 that i know of. what could cause this. could it be held there becaus of rbl lookups? I use only spamhaus.org and have that as a zone in my dns and secondary dns vince
