While running dovecot on debian etch using version 1.0.rc15-2etch3, i wonder
the following:
If i read the config files correctly, dovecot seems to have no equivalent of
courier's IMAP_EMPTYTRASH=Trash:7 setting.
Therefore, i wrote a script that dives into the user's directories and their
maildirs. It looks like this:
=============================================
#!/bin/bash
for pad1 in $(ls /home)
do
if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak" ]
then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/cur" -mtime +2 -type f -delete
find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Prullenbak/new" -mtime +2 -type f -delete
fi
if [ -e "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam" ]
then find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/cur" -mtime +2 -type
f -delete
find "/home/$pad1/Maildir/.Allerlei.Spam/new" -mtime +2 -type
f -delete
fi
done
============================================
Now, can i just put a script like this in /etc/hourly or do i have to add
things like stopping the dovecot deamon (i sure hope not!) in order to
prevent file-corruption?
Or has dovecot in the meantime got a config option that does this just like
courier does?
I do something similar with a nightly cron job running a perl script.
There is no locking for Maildir, so you don't have to worry about that.
Some previous discussion on this list suggested that ctime might be
better than mtime.
