This has to come up time and again. I have a small system with about 500 users on it. A good number of them are people who leave e-mail on the server rather than deleting it. As you can imagine over time these files have grown rather large. Is there a program I can run that'll go through the mailboxes (they are all in sendmail mailbox format) and delete any messages older than say 1 year? I've discovered that I can tell the pop3 server to do this (sort of) but would like to give everything a quick cleaning immediately to start fresh. Thoughts? -Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
