# this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression, # Sieve or NNTP delprune cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400 clipping from 'man cyr_expire' Cyr_expire is used to expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries. The expiration of messages is controlled by the /ven- dor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation which specifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mailbox that should be deleted. Any duplicate delivery database entries which correspond to the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency. I haven't had any emails deleted on me so I am guessing that it is the duplicate delivery database entries. I am however doing some 'purging' of emails automatically via cyrus master (cyrus.conf)... # prune root messages over 60 days old purgebulk cmd="ipurge -d 60 -f user.root" at=200 # purge SPAMBOX messages over 7 days old purgebulk cmd="ipurge -f -d 7 */SPAMBOX" at=230 Craig ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
