Bill; I got a problem which is I don't remember which e-mail I used to register in your list. I need to get off the list, but all I have tried doesn't work.
Can you please remove this two addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] They both belong to me, one of them is a forward to the other. Please let me know if you can help Cordially; gilberto -----Original Message----- From: Bill Shupp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 3:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [toaster] Auto Expiring Mail trevor wrote: > > > Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold wrote: > >> On Wed, 2004-04-28 at 12:02, trevor wrote: >> >> >>> sure in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd edit the line: >>> >>> IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:3,Sent:14,Spam:14 >>> >>> in this case trash gets deleted after 3 days, sent in 14, and spam in 14 >>> >> >> >> Is this for Imap users only?

However, keep in mind that the deletion will only occur when the user logs in via IMAP. So, if they don't log in for a while, it's possible for the mailbox to fill up and bounce messages even though some messages should be deleted due to age. Ideally, the local delivery agent could handle this. But it does add a bit of overhead for *every* message delivered. I wonder how Yahoo Mail and the like handle this? Anyone know? Probably the most realistic solution is a cron job that runs nightly, as was previously suggested. That would be pretty easy to script. Regards, Bill Shupp
