deleting old trash mails
Hello list Many of my clients are use imap accounts and they usually delete mails but don't purge them. Most of them use SquirrelMail, others Thunderbird. So I'm trying to make Cyrus to delete automatically after some days. I use cyrus-imapd-2.3.16-3.fc12.i686. In the imap.conf I put: ... expunge_mode: delayed ... And in the cyrus.conf: ... delprune cmd="cyr_expire -a -E 3 -X 10" at=0400 ... In maillog everyday I found the following records: ... Jan 17 04:00:02 ns1 cyr_expire[12994]: mydelete: starting txn 2147487755 Jan 17 04:00:02 ns1 cyr_expire[12994]: mydelete: committing txn 2147487755 Jan 17 04:00:02 ns1 cyr_expire[12994]: duplicate_prune: purged 284 out of 786 entries but no mails deleted from trash. I believe there is some misunderstanding here. What I' doing wrong?

rsync problem backing up cyrus-imap emails
Hello list I use rsync to backup cyrus mail dirs using the following command: rsync -vaR --delete --log-file=/var/log/rsync /var/lib/imap /var/spool/imap/ /mnt/backup The destination is a Lacie external network drive in ntfs format. The problem I have is that rsync change email names from, lets say 102. to 2RB3UX~6. I also backup to a local ext3 format hard drive where files save with exactly same name with right attributes, and rights with no problem. I try to rsync to a window pc shared folder and the emails saved also with the same names as used (102. to 102.) The external disk cant change from ntfs to ext format. Does someone had the same problem? Thank you in advance. Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
