Re: delete accounts older than X date

[Taymour A. El Erian]

This is a rather slow and heavy thing to do if you have thousands of 
users on your server, I think it is better to do parse the log files via 
a cron job to see the last access.

There is no such command, but it's easy to emulate:

do a find on your popserver for all directories for which the oldest
file in the subdir "new" is older than 6 months, or if that subdir is
empty: where the modify timestamp of new and cur is older than 6
months (best to do in perl). This will give you a list of maildirs that
you can map to accounts to delete. I have such a script lying around
somewhere but I can't dig it up right now ...
