http://archivemail.sourceforge.net/ Usage: archivemail [options] mailbox [mailbox...] Moves old mail in IMAP, mbox, MH or maildir-format mailboxes to an mbox-format mailbox compressed with gzip. Options are as follows: -a, --days-new=NUM archive messages _newer_ than NUM days (default: 30) -A, --date-new=DATE archive messages _newer_ than DATE -d, --days=NUM archive messages older than NUM days (default: 180) -D, --date=DATE archive messages older than DATE -o, --output-dir=DIR directory to store archives (default: same as original) -s, --suffix=NAME suffix for archive filename (default: '_archive') -S, --size=NUM only archive messages NUM bytes or larger -n, --dry-run don't write to anything - just show what would be done -u, --preserve-unread never archive unread messages --delete delete rather than archive old mail (use with caution!) --include-flagged messages flagged important can also be archived --no-compress do not compress archives with gzip --warn-duplicate warn about duplicate Message-IDs in the same mailbox -v, --verbose report lots of extra debugging information -q, --quiet quiet mode - print no statistics (suitable for crontab) -V, --version display version information -h, --help display this message Example: archivemail linux-kernel This will move all messages older than 180 days to a 'mbox' mailbox called 'linux-kernel_archive.gz', deleting them from the original 'linux-kernel' mailbox. If the 'linux-kernel_archive.gz' mailbox already exists, the newly archived messages are appended. To archive IMAP mailboxes, format your mailbox argument like this: imap://username:password@server/mailbox -- Joe Miller On Fri, May 23, 2003 at 07:19:00PM +0300, ODHIAMBO Washington wrote: // // Hiya ISP Admins, // // // Apart from using `find`, I am wondering if someone already owns the wheel // that can expire mail older than N number of days from users Maildir. // I used to use one by Phil Male of Information Systems Engineering Group // which was well adapted for mbox-type mailboxes, but now I have changed to // Maildir/ // // Thanks in advance for any pointers. // // // -Wash // // -- // Odhiambo Washington <wash@wananchi.com> "The box said 'Requires // Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com Windows 95, NT, or better,' // Tel: +254 2 313985-9 +254 2 313922 so I installed FreeBSD." // GSM: +254 72 743223 +254 733 744121 This sig is McQ! :-) // // // Stult's Report: // Our problems are mostly behind us.
