http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1151 Summary: Optional shred when removing messages from spool Product: Exim Version: N/A Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: wishlist Priority: medium Component: Queues AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] CC: [email protected] I would like the option for email to be shredded when removed from the mail spool, before being deleted. In the same way that GNU shred behaves: https://www.gnu.org/s/coreutils/manual/html_node/shred-invocation.html I'd just like to know that email can't be recovered from the MTA spool disk once it has been delivered. Perhaps a couple of global configuration options? spool_shred_iterations = 10 spool_shred_zero = true Documentation would need to address issues like filesystem journals still containing scraps of the message in certain cases. Guidance for that could be found in the shred man pages. I would happily write the documentation, but don't have the expertise to write the code. I fully recognise that very few systems are likely to need this functionality, but just wanted to get the idea on the record anyway. I think this would have value to some people. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
