I'm expunging mail in my crontab like this:
doveadm search -u user1 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d
doveadm search -u user2 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d
doveadm search -u user3 mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d
...
I'd rather do this:
doveadm search -A mailbox INBOX.Trash savedbefore 30d
but I'm told not to:
"If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for all
users. Using this option in combination with system users from userdb
{ driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it contains also users
with a lower UID than the one configured with the first_valid_uid
setting."
I'm using userdb { driver = passwd-file } but I'm guessing that's the
same thing. Am I understanding this correctly?
