I do keep the files just in case something gets flagged and a client
asks me to look. As a single domain I imagine that this is easier to
deal with. I keep my spam folders up to a month, but I don't script the
delete I just manually remove them any time I happen to be in the
folder. So I tend to have about two months worth.
If my clients suspect that an email is getting flagged in error, they
just email me with the address. Since we are a smaller business that
works well. Usually I just do a windows search, but am tempted to try
the grep command for windows, too search threw the archive.

Roger,
Thanks for the info, that is a good way to deal with the mass spam
storage. Do you ever have the requirement to go back through the SPAM
that you have saved? How long do you save it and do you just delete it
after a certain date? How do your clients ask you or what do you do to
retrieve a possible real message that might have been considered spam?
If sniffer never makes a false positive I guess it is no big deal just
to delete the spam, but on the rare chance there are false positives I
would sure hate to delete an important message.
This mail server supports about 60 domains so having all of the spam in
one folder is a bit of a mess. VOPMAIL allows for individual mailbox
agents so I guess somehow I could have a bat file for each user or pass
parameters to a bat file, but I hate to think about that one. Going
through each mailbox on the server to enter the agent commands will be a
real pain timewise.
Wondering what other VOPMAIL users do out there if there are any of us
left.

This is how I do it, although there may be better ways.
I create a scheduled task to run a batch file called spam.cmd that
runs from within the spam folder. This copies the spam caught that
day into a dated folder. That way I can delete old spam, and keep the
folder organized. This seems to work well, with imail, but if there
are probably better ways out there.
Here is my batch file
REM This portion gets the date
FOR /F "TOKENS=2-4 DELIMS=/ " %%F IN ('DATE /T') DO (
SET MM=%%F
SET DD=%%G
SET YYYY=%%H
)
REM This portion creates a folder with todays date MM-DD-YYYY
mkdir %MM%-%DD%-%YYYY%
REM moves the current files into the dated folder.
move *.smd .\%MM%-%DD%-%YYYY%\
move *.GSE .\%MM%-%DD%-%YYYY%\
Hope thats of help.
