Just use a cron to rename the <incoming.mbx> file to <date>.mbx (e.g. 20040102.mbx) every night and delete all files older than <x> days. That's what I do for imail on windows, but maybe you can use that for exim, too.

I am using exim on exim 4.24, as a part of cPanel 8.5, on RH 8.0(Kernel version: 2.4.18-14smp). To my knowledge, exim handles mail filtering and delivery and the format of mailbox is mbox. I probably should have called it spam box instead of spam folder? LS ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
