Hi, I've been asked by my employer to investigate possible tools for expiring e-mail after it reaches a certain age. The motivation behind this is a legal one. In much the same way as many companies shred paper documents once they have been stored for a predetermined length of time, my employer wishes to shred its e-mail after a certain amount of time has elapsed.
The obvious makeshift answer is to stop the Cyrus server, run some kind of 'find -ctime x | xargs rm' over the article files and then rebuild the mailboxes using reconstruct(8), but this would be messy, error-prone and require downtime. Is anyone else performing this odd practice? If so, how are you doing it? Ian -- Ian Macdonald | God isn't dead, he just couldn't find a System Administrator | parking place.
