Hi, We have a reasonably large amount of old mails in the spool-folder, all in the "mess" folders. They appair when running this: find /var/MailRoot/spool -type f -mtime +30 | grep '/mess/'
I seem to remember that it has been hinted in the past that such a files might be left there because of a filter not having released the lock on the file (probably the filter crashed or took more time to complete then expected). I looked up a couple of these mails in the logs and found that they have been delivered. Would it be safe to delete these files, with something like this: find /var/MailRoot/spool -type f -mtime +30 | grep '/mess/' | xargs rm -f Our mailserver retry shedule should retry sending mails for up to maximum 7 days, so I assume that any file that has been in there for 30 days isn't being retried anymore. But is it safe to simply delete them? Thanks!
