Package: squirrelmail
Version: 2:1.4.23~svn20120406-2+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The /etc/cron.daily/squirrelmail cronjob is not cleaning up old attachment 
files because
find(1) arguments do not match; -maxdepth should be 3 (not 2), and on our 
system -atime
needs changed to -ctime or -mtime, as something reads the files (hence updates 
atime) daily.

The atime issue may be local to us (I don't see what is accessing the files 
offhand, perhaps
a security tool scanning files?), but surely others will have that as well by 
running security
tools, backup scripts and the like, so changing the default should only help.

Thanks,
Jesse
