I don't want to mark old messages as deleted and expunge them, because then maybe I'm expunging messages, that haven't been flagged as deleted by me but the owner of the mailbox and aren't ment to be expunged at this moment. We do this by setting our own special flag (in addition to the regular \Deleted flag) and then SEARCH for those messages only and UIDEXPUNGE them. But if you're deleting ALL messages, then it doesn't really matter does it? Unless you're doing some sort of age based thing, in which case like I said - UIDEXPUNGE. The flag just lets us persist the action across dropped connections. Bron.

The -f flag allows ipurge to examine user mailboxes. Bug fixes are (of course) welcome. :wes Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
Re: Auto-deletion of messages in Junk-folder after a certain time
Hi, Being the filty perl programmer that I am, I would just make an admin IMAP connection to the server, LIST all mailboxes, regex match the ones I wanted, select them and process them. I used to do the same , But I found a client connection script too slow too heavy for my server with 40k mailboxes we have more than 40.000 mailboxes, too. But I'm not very enthusiastic to use ipurge. I'm afraid ipurge does something wrong (due to bugs or misconfiguration) and some unexpected messages are deleted. I wouldn't have a good feeling to tell customers ipurge is always right without having logs. My preferred solution would be to log each mailbox I'm deleting messages from and the From, Date and Subject-header of each, so in case of accidents, the customers could restore the messages somehow. I wouldn't mind a slow perl script that does its job one by one as long as I get logs. @Bron: I don't want to delete all messages, but all messages older than 60 days. Instead of flagging messages, I thing UIDEXPUNGE might be an option.

standard murder configuration problem
Hi All,
I'm going crazy configuring a standard murder architecture with 3 different
servers
1 frontend (mx1)
1 mupdate master (mupdate)
1 backend (ariel)
the OS is debian etch.
the imap/pop3 and lmtp connections are not working from the frontend to the
backend
--- MX1 mail.log
Jul 15 15:23:27 mx1 cyrus/lmtpunix[8197]: couldn't authenticate to backend
server: no mechanism available
Jul 15 15:26:05 mx1 cyrus/imap[8236]: couldn't authenticate to backend server:
no mechanism available
---
I can connect directly to the backend with a client and I have succesfull
result with imtest and lmtptest from the frontend to the backend.
