Thanks for the info Dave. I did just what you described except I
pushed it to a text file so I could see better what was happening.
I ran it with the 5 day setting and didn't get anything.
Then I dropped it to 2 days and got a list. The script is apparently
working but only on about half of the domains. I have other domains
that never made it into the output.txt file. I know there is trash
there because I have one user with over 3000 messages.
I guess
now the question is, does the script just delete everything older than
DELTIME? or is it looking for something to only get messages? I see
in the output that it looks like it's going to delete some index and
dovecot-uidlist files. Is this ok? What can I do to see why
it's not finding all of the old messages?.
