we're considering a policy for our users where mail in the INBOX gets deleted after 1 year. The rationale for this is that people who want to archive all their mail should use separate folders. This would only affect users who use POP but leave all their mail on the server (happens all too often) and those who never read their mail. This happens as well, because we have many orphaned accounts.
So I thought we might use ipurge for that. However, ipurge works recursively. When I do "ipurge -f -d 365 user/xxx" (we're using both altnamespace and unixhierarchysep) *all* that user's old mail get deleted. I looked at the source, but at first glance I didn't see a way to avoid that.
Any ideas regarding this? Is it worthwhile to try to add the functionality to ipurge or should we just roll our own with a Perl script?
