Comments on Automatic Cleaning Of Trash And/Or Junk Folders With ISPConfig (With Roundcube + Tmpreaper (Tmpwatch))

Automatic Cleaning Of Trash And/Or Junk Folders With ISPConfig (With Roundcube + Tmpreaper (Tmpwatch)) This short mini-howto will help you set up automatic cleaning of Trash- and Junkfolders. Most (web)mail clients (can) automatically create these. A lot of people don't clean there maildirectories causing Junk and Trash folders to grow massively in size and with ISPConfig (not yet) being able to set good maildirectory size limits the alternative is to have these folders cleaned after several days.

Changed for ispconfig 3.0 on Debian Lenny

 

#!/bin/sh
# Time to wait before removing mails from the Junk folder (Default: 7 days) Set 0 to turn off.
junk_max_hours=$((24*7))
# Time to wait before removing mails from the Trash folder (Default: 30 days) Set 0 to turn off.
trash_max_hours=$((24*30))
for domain in /var/vmail/*
do
  if [ -d "$domain" ]
  then
    for user in $domain/*
    do
      if [ "$junk_max_hours" -gt "0" ]
      then
        if [ -d "$user/.Junk" ]
        then
          tmpreaper -m $junk_max_hours $user/.Junk/{cur,new}
        fi
      fi
      if [ "$trash_max_hours" -gt "0" ]
      then
        if [ -d "$user/.Trash" ]
        then
          tmpreaper -m $trash_max_hours $user/.Trash/{cur,new}
        fi
      fi
    done
  fi

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/clean-mailfolders
