Script to clean up old Trash, Junk and Spam mail.

[EckyBrazz]

Hi Folks,

Just found a script that I have adjusted to work with ISPConfig 3 to clean up the old trash mail ect.

 #!/bin/bash
MAILDIRS=$(find /var/vmail/*/*/Maildir/ -maxdepth 0 -type d)
for basedir in $MAILDIRS; do
  for dir in .Trash .Junk .Spam .Low\ Priority; do
    for dir2 in cur new; do
      [ -e "$basedir/$dir/$dir2" ] && (
        echo "Processing $basedir/$dir/$dir2..."
        find "$basedir/$dir/$dir2/" -type f -mtime +30 -delete
      )
    done
  done
done

When migration from Cpanel to ISPconfig I found that my users have a lot of old mails in the trash. When I ran this script it saved me about 25GB of diskspace.

Hi,

Sound really great!
This is exactly what's always missing, in any case of software making.. Order, clean-up functions etc. - any chance of getting it to work on ubuntu server 10.04/ispconfig 3 ?

Looking forward to hear from you guys

Kind Regards.
