It is my experience that dbmail-maintenance –f does not cleanup aliases which are left over because the useraccount which they were linked to has been deleted.

A workaround is to first delete the aliases and then the useraccount.

Of course, you can do a sql statements yourself, like “delete from aliases where alias_idnr = 4;

But this requires human interaction and also a lot of groundwork when you have very much aliases. Plus not everyone is comfortable with sql.

Valid point. Aliases that point to integer deliver_to values always refer to user_idnr. If those don't exist, they should probably be removed.

Could you report this on the bugtracker on www.dbmail.org please?


Also, I would like to have some aliases working only during certain times of the day. Let me explain.

I have some deliver_to aliases, which in fact forward the email to my mobile phone. Since I am sitting behind my computer between 9 and 5pm, I don’t need these emailnotifications on my phone during workinghours. (every emailnotification costs 30 eurocents per minute). I would like these notifications between 5pm and 11pm.

Use cronjobs.

at 17:00  dbmail-adduser f <someaddress> <otheraddress>
at 09:00  dbmail-adduser x <someaddress> <otheraddress>

Maybe it is something which can be implemented in a future release if you think its useful.

I don't think this will happen since it's not worth the trouble given the fact it can be done so easily with a cronjob/shellscript.
