At least I believe that this is possible in Cyrus-IMAP. You then must set up some sort of system job to purge the Trash folder contents on some reasonable basis. However, every mail message delivery is also logged in the maillog file of most *nix MTAs so I would instead recommend that you write some sort of script to parse the maillog files on a regular (daily) basis and send emails with the delivery summaries by recipient and origin to either the account owner or to a central administrator, or to both, if proof of delivery is an issue. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
