+1 Using file time stamps to say something about the message is a risky proposition; lots of events can mess with timestamps on the files. If you are using Cyrus IMAP look into the "expire" annotation. I set my SPAM folder to expire at 14 days and my sent mail to expire at 365 days an it-just-happens - I don't even have to log in. -- Adam Tauno Williams <[email protected]> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba -- IMP mailing list Frequently Asked Questions: http://horde.org/faq/ To unsubscribe, mail: [email protected]
