Hi, We have a FC4 linux system that has squirrelmail 1.4.6-3.fc4 installed. It is working normally, does not showing any particular problem. Recently, I notice that the folder /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach gets very big. When I check it, it shows something like: # ls -l /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach/ .... -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 2772 Sep 21 15:27 Ym5u50koW5Xu5hltepNscfWeeJKpNc87 -rw------- 1 apache apache 48723603 Oct 3 16:09 yNm6OVldo6OzCUuNWekBw36vR7DTp1hR -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 148913 Oct 27 21:21 YRc7iBEWQA4jb1qQ2QMpmV4e4CBNVjqH -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 326891 Jul 29 2006 yTtcIMfNNQ50Now1L3coyhMcBA4J3JCn .... These files are html, part header, jpg image, data, etc. My question is what these files are? Are they the attachment to the mails users sent out? or received? I tested my account. When I received an email with attachment, the attach folder does not show any change (hope I didn't miss any fast change). When I attach a file to a mail I am going to send out, the attach folder shows a new entry with the correct time stamp. After I click the Send button, the mail with the attachment was sent out, then that entry in attach folder is gone. If I understand correctly, that folder is for squirrelmail to temporarily hold attachments to send out. If that is correct, does it mean that all of files in my /var/spool/squirrelmail/attach folder are attachments users were going to send out, but failed, so the folder hold them? But, I never heard any of my users complain about failure? Can anybody explain it better? Is it safe to clean all of those files in that folder? Thanks a lot!
