-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I could use an overview of how cyr_expire and the entry ~ delprune cmd="/usr/sbin/cyr_expire -E 3" in the cyrus.conf within the START section works. Background is, that for some reason, every now and then cyrus decides that it is a good idea to resign and stop responding on the pop3/imap4 ports. This can be remedied by restarting cyrus in it's entirety but when doing this after a couple of months uptime, the cyr_expire kicks in and it takes >30 minutes to get it back to work: - ---8<--- Jan 30 06:44:46 srv1 cyrus/master[32247]: about to exec /usr/sbin/cyr_expire Jan 30 06:44:48 srv1 cyrus/cyr_expire[32247]: duplicate_prune: pruning back 3 days Jan 30 06:44:48 srv1 cyrus/cyr_expire[32247]: mydelete: starting txn 2147483650 Jan 30 06:44:48 srv1 cyrus/cyr_expire[32247]: mydelete: committing txn 2147483650 [entries omitted] Jan 30 06:58:31 srv1 cyrus/cyr_expire[32247]: duplicate_prune: purged 717903 out of 817184 entries Jan 30 06:58:31 srv1 cyrus/cyr_expire[32247]: expunged 0 out of 0 messages from 0 mailboxes - --->8--- Would it make sense to enter the above cyr_deliver command from the START section into the EVENT section or does this make things worse? All this is just combatting the symptoms, not the reason. If anyone has an idea about what causes this, sizing of the hardware, underlying filesystem or harddisk technology, I'd be thankful for some pointers. The server itself has to deal with about 20k inboxes. Thanks and best regards, sven03 Mit freundlichen Gruessen i. A.
