Hello All,
I have created the store.expire as follows:
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.messagedays: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/.*/INBOX
However, i can still see the messages in the INBOX
Can anyone lead me to the correct solution, knowing that store.expire is owned by the messaging server.
Moreover, how can i purge these mails at once, rather than waiting for 1 day?
Thanks,
Lewis
Where did you place the file?
When are you looking?

Are you indeed looking to expire all messages after a day?
What is the actual goal you have? Perhaps I can offer you a better/faster way to do it.
For example, if you really want to remove all messages from a user, use mboxutil to delete the mailbox.Since the ldap entry is still there, the mailbox will be recrated automatically in the event the user logs in or a message arrives.
Hi,
Actually i am moving the mailboxes for more than a user to a new folder.. i did use the mboxutil , however as you know that the messages will stay in the 00 and so on folders, therefore i am using the imexpire to purge them and i need to purge them at once and not leave them in the 00 folder
i tried placing the file under /config and also /store/primary however nothing helped out...
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lewis
Hi,
First I suggest you read up on the imexpire command in the Messaging Server Administrator Guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2650/6n4u4dttr?a=view)
"To implement the automatic message removal policy defined in the previous section, you must set the imexpire rules. Rules are set by putting them into a store.expirerule file. An example of two global store.expirerule rules is shown below"
So the file you need is store.expirerule and _not_ store.expire
To test the rule/file you can run:
./imexpire -n -d -v 3
This will tell you which messages the imexpire will delete.
On your ultimate goal:

What is the problem with the messages remaining in the 00 folders?
What is the mboxutil command you are using to 'move' the folders?
