"ipurge -f -d 1 -X user/*/spam" works for me (2.3cvs). The messages get expunged and expired immediately, which is what I would expect from: mailbox_expunge(&the_box, purge_check, &stats, EXPUNGE_FORCE); cyr_expire is normally used to expire expunged messages if you are running with delayed expunge. ipurge appears to bypass this. -- David Carter Email: David.Carter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx University Computing Service, Phone: (01223) 334502 New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Fax: (01223) 334679 Cambridge UK.
