Hi, /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/squatter -r user
works fine for me, but the idea of one letter of the alphabet at a time is nice. Interesting, when I use webinterface (IMP or Squirremail) after I've finished to run squatter I got this message: imap[15835]: SQUAT returned 45 messages But after a while, when I got new messages in this account, I've got this message: imap[16924]: SQUAT returned 46 messages Does it mean that cyrus.squat file has been updated automatically, even before I've run "squatter -r user" again? If so, why should I run "squatter -r user" on regular basis?

Since you've looked at the code, what about: squatter -r 'user.a*' What I'd like to be able to do is to squat on one letter of the alphabet at a time, cycling through the letters maybe once a month. Obviously not all messages will be squatted on, but I'm worried that if I try to squat the entire server every night, the I/O from that combined with backups will mean that the squatting never finishes in time for active business hours. So I was thinking that a compromise would be to keep most of the messages squatted by cycling through what mailboxes I squat......
