Topic: Quarantined items not expiring

==== Required information ====

I've been monitoring my quarantine and items are not expiring. I believed they should after 7 days. Am I wrong? I thought I read that somewhere. Thanks.

Re: Quarantined items not expiring

*) Do you have cron job to delete quarantined items? Show us output of command "crontab -l -u root" please.
*) How long do you keep it? Show us output of below command in iRedAdmin-Pro directory please:

# grep 'AMAVISD_REMOVE_' libs/default_settings.py settings.py

[root@mail ~]# crontab -l -u root

[root@mail ~]#


[root@mail iredadmin]# grep 'AMAVISD_REMOVE_' libs/default_settings.py settings.py
libs/default_settings.py:AMAVISD_REMOVE_MAILLOG_IN_DAYS = 7
libs/default_settings.py:AMAVISD_REMOVE_QUARANTINED_IN_DAYS = 7
[root@mail iredadmin]#


Looks to be the default of 7 days but I don't see the cron job on the list. was that supposed to be added as part of the quarantine implementation or the original install? Thanks.

Re: Quarantined items not expiring

Add a cron job to delete expired items automatically:

1  2   *   *   *   python /var/www/iredadmin/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py &>/dev/null

It's better to execute it manually first, to verify whether or not it works as expected. For example:

# python /var/www/iredadmin/tools/cleanup_amavisd_db.py
