What does one do to permanently remove from the file system old messages. In cyrus.conf I have this: postmaster cmd="ipurge -X -f -d 8 user/postmaster/delivery" at=0420 delprune cmd="cyr_expire -D 180d -E 3d -X 180d" at=0400 cyradm info shows this: info {Server Wide} private: admin: NIL comment: NIL expire: NIL squat: NIL usercounters: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 usermodseq: 0 shared: admin: NIL comment: NIL motd: NIL expire: NIL freespace: 68182048 most: 68182048;192015872 total: 68182048;192015872 shutdown: NIL squat: NIL When I go to the user mailbox (/var/spool/imap/p/user/postmaster/delivery) I see messages from December 2018 and earlier. When I check the maillog I see this: # grep cyr_expire /var/log/maillog | grep postmaster Oct 9 05:46:14 inet17 CYRUS/cyr_expire[21667]: mailbox: longlock user.postmaster.investigate for 2.3 seconds Oct 9 05:46:16 inet17 CYRUS/cyr_expire[21667]: mailbox: longlock user.postmaster.mailinglists for 1.2 seconds Oct 9 05:46:19 inet17 CYRUS/cyr_expire[21667]: mailbox: longlock user.postmaster.spamno for 1.3 seconds What I do not see is anything being expunged for the postmaster. cyr_expire is running as I see this in the maillog: inet17 CYRUS/cyr_expire[21667]: Expired 0 and expunged 2055 out of 744420 messages from 2500 mailboxes I want messages that are deleted and that are older than 180 days gone from the file system entirely. I would like to know why is this not happening? And, I would like to know how do I make it happen? What setting or settings am I missing? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
