I'm not using Maildir. I suspect the SIS is broken somehow.

I had problems with this a few years ago, and resorted to simply using find to
remove the files from the file system
/usr/bin/find /usr/local/virtual/*/.Junk*/{cur,new} -type f -mtime +7 -name
“*=*" -delete 2> /dev/null
/usr/bin/find /usr/local/virtual/*/.Trash/{cur,new} -type f -mtime +7 -name
“*=*" -delete 2> /dev/null

expunge not removing attachments?
I have a large mail backup folder backup@backup.invalid; I'm cleaning up daily like this: infimum=`date -d "-4 day" +"%Y-%m-%d"` doveadm expunge -u backup@backup.invalid mailbox INBOX SAVEDBEFORE $infimum doveadm purge -u backup@backup.invalid yet I see this: # find attachments/ -type f -ctime +5 | wc -l 7522 # find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 127579 # find attachments/ -type f -mtime +5 | wc -l 14361 # find attachments/ -type f | wc -l 127793 About 5.9% of the files in attachments and below are older than 5 days. Why? Is that normal? using dovecot 2:2.3.1-1 from the official repos. -- Ralf Hildebrandt Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin Hindenburgdamm 30 | D-12203 Berlin Tel. +49 30 450 570 155 | Fax: +49 30 450 570 962 ralf.hildebra...@charite.de | https://www.charite.de
