Hi guys,

somone have a crontab script that cleans deleted or disabled HASHED maildirs after for example 30 days?
I have searched the forum for a long time and didnt find anything.

Are there other regular maintenance to do on database or filesystem rather than take backups?

Thank you!

Sorry, i don't get this kind of script.
iRedAdmin-Pro should log maildir path of deleted mail accounts, but it's not yet implemented. Will try to achieve it.

thank you for the fast answer.

If I may be permitted a proposal.
Write the full path to maildir with delation date along with the log entry in a database table.
Then the delete script should be easy smile

Have a nice day!

Feature requests, feedback, suggestions are always welcome. smile

My plan is, store maildir path in SQL database while deleting a user.

Re: Remove old disabled or removed maildirs (again)

Currently i am working on a different approach. I want to make a trigger "BEFORE DELETE" of the mailbox table and log the data i need into another table.
A cron job, a database view and little shell script does the rest an deletes the directories.

What do you think about this?

Re: Remove old disabled or removed maildirs (again)

Well, then we're thinking about the same approach.

Logging maildir path before or after deleting user, then delete the mailbox with 'rm' with a cron job.
