i too have a similar query i too need to delet messages older than 3 days
. in my /etc/cyru.conf i have a entry like this delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400 would this mean that the messages in( /var/spool/imap/a/users/abp/* ) older than 3 days get deleted ?
It doesn't seem to (which you could ascertain if you see any messages older than 3 days in your mailbox).
I have this option enabled too, so it must only expire messages (or folders) marked for expiry. But it clearly doesn't use the "Expire" option for mailboxes, because that sets an age separately. So I'm still unsure how the pieces in this puzzle are designed to fit together.
i was finally able to purge my old mail using ipurge ... su cyrus -c "(/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/ipurge -f -d 7 user.netserv )" i was trying to do it the wron way before !! ......... i written a script and added tp my cron to run every 3 times in a week ,!! Thanks for all the help !!
