I'm getting tired of explaining again and again how expire plugin is supposed to work, so I added now Example #1 timeline and Example #2 timeline to http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire which tell exactly what is supposed to happen with a couple of examples. Do they finally help understanding how exactly things are supposed to work?
Unfortunately X-SAVEDATE doesn't work with current 1.2 versions, because of a bug. If you want to look at them, you can apply this patch to v1.2.1: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/f353c5b71097 On Fri, 2009-07-10 at 10:58 -0500, Jose Luis Marin Perez wrote: > Dear Timo, > > As I understand with regard to Expire plugin is marking the folder will > be deleted in a certain amount of days and that the deletion is > performed by expire-tool > > Expire plugin works correctly, and > I can check on the database folder has been marked, the problem is with > expire-tool as it does the deletion. > > This is intended to expire Expire Plugin-tool? > > Please require your help to solve this problem. > > I apologize for my low level of knowledge about these issues, but what > interests me is to learn. > > Thanks > > Jose Luis > > > From: jolumape...@hotmail.com > > To: t...@iki.fi > > Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 14:18:28 -0500 > > CC: dovecot@dovecot.org > > Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Problems with Expire Plugin > > > > > > Dear Timo > > > > I have set up crontab to run the tool expires at midnight > > > > When running with the --test option: > > > > Info: User lookup failed: jma...@sistemasunidos.com > > Info: jma...@sistemasunidos.com/INBOX.Papelera: no messages left > > > > When running without the --test option: > > > > Does not leave any message and there are no data in the table expires of > > Mysql > > > > I reviewed the Trash folder and still holds the emails. > > > > > > It should be noted that for purposes of the test today I sent two > > emails and copied to the Papelera folder so that after executing the > > end-tool should be removed > > > > Thanks > > > > Jose Luis > > > > > Subject: Re: [Dovecot] Problems with Expire Plugin > > > From: t...@iki.fi > > > To: jolumape...@hotmail.com > > > CC: dovecot@dovecot.org > > > Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 14:57:19 -0400 > > > > > > On Thu, 2009-07-09 at 12:12 -0500, Jose Luis Marin Perez wrote: > > > > Now my problem is with expire-tool because it is not deleting the > > > > emails in the folder that has been marked by Expire Plugin. > > > > > > Did you read how exactly it works? > > > http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Expire > > > > > > > This is the command that I run through crontab: > > > > > > > > /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext > > > > /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool > > > > > > Giving --test parameter shows what it's really doing. > > > > > > > | jma...@sistemasunidos.com/INBOX.Papelera | 1247162400 | > > > > > > 1247162400 = Thu Jul 9 18:00:00 UTC 2009 > > > > > > So it should have started checking and expunging oldest message(s) from > > > this mailbox about an hour ago (as of when I'm writing this mail). > > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________ > > News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
