Hi all,
I found an article (with python script) on how to
clean up Maildir folder
for old email messages from
http://www.ducea.com/2006/11/25/cleanup-maildir-folders-archive-delete-old-mails/
. As I understand, this will be run by each user
after login. How can I make this runs at least once a
month and
delete all users message with age more than one month
for example using crontab? I am using Postfix,
MailScanner, SpamAssassin, Courier IMAP/POP3, ClamAV
and CentOS4.4 as mail server. If you need further
input, please just let me know. Thanks in advance for
help. Thanks.
to run the script monthly, put it in /etc/cron.monthly. but you can also
run it daily or weekly (but only delete files with age > 1 month).
Instead of deleting, consider moving the files to some place to give you
time to recover should something bad happens...

for d in `find $maildir -type d -name cur`; do
find $d -type f -ctime +30 -exec rm {} \`
done
done
