Message expiration policy question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I have a question with message expiration policies. With cyradm I have set several message expiration policies on folders, so that old messages are automatically pruned from the folder. It works pretty well thus far. But I have a question.

Does cyrus look at the received date in the message itself, or does it use some sort of file system timestamp (maybe creation date of the file) to determine which messages are "expired"?

The reason I ask is that spam often comes into the mix, and date info in the message header are often forged. So how does Cyrus do this?
