The topic has been on air a cuple of days. For most of the work, you use
dbmail-adduser d follow by a dbmail-maintenance -f. Only alias is there to
clean up, and I have post a little script to do so a couple of days ago.

The earlier thread was also started by Jacques, so I interpreted this apparently repeated request as a wish-list type bugreport.

To answer the question: yes dbmail-adduser could well be changed to cleanup all data associated with an account, but there was no consensus on whether such would be a good design decision.

Like most of the other replies in the earlier thread I feel that this can be well resolved either through database contraints or through dbmail-maintenance.

I for one can imagine well some situations where I would want to remove an account, but still retain at least the messages and messageblks for historical purposes. Perhaps you would want to assign such orphaned messages to some bucket-type dummy user. Afaik many organisations are required to maintain archives of email same as of paper documents for several years.

Could dbmail-adduser be modified to clean up all the
tables (aliases,mailboxes,messages,messageblks) and aliases
"deliver_to"
when deleting a user.
I do it with a script but i think that should be done by dbmail-adduser
for
all of use.

Why delete a user and leave all is data in the tables.

Thanks
Jacques
