You can write a script to physically remove the mailbox. As it just needs to delete all files and directories under the /~domain/user folder. You could parse the email address to get this information as the domain comes first and the user portion is what is before the @ sign. There is no real write or wrong way, in suspending accounts because each ISP / Corporate user would have different parameters. However, IMHO, closing an account should force a delete. If you are using the extended database you could trigger this slightly differently and it may work better depending on your backend. What you could do is have a script that adds an entry to a table for mailboxes to delete, then change the password and mailbox expiry for that mailbox. Leave that for 24 hours so that Modus Mail has a chance to pick up the changes. Have another process that runs nightly to check the date a mailbox was scheduled for deletion and remove it from the database. Modus will then take care of expiring the domain. I do not believe Modus includes a command line utility for adjusting the mailbox expiry, so this can only really be done effectively if you use the extended database. You could write a utility to do this from a CLI, however you would need to examine the registry for the relevant entries.

We can't get it to delete Physical Mailboxes when we remove them. We've had customers cancel their service with us a year ago, sign up and be like, how come we have eMails in our box that were sent within the last year (we keep messages for 180 days as of now). So, is there no way to make ModusMAIL do it right, delete the Physical box? Thanks!
