IMHO it would be great if we could both provision and un-provision users without having the provisioning system mess with files in the filesystem. Provisioning new users works fine since dovecot will create all files/directories on first login, but I haven´t found the tools to un-provison them. I see "doveadm mailbox delete" can delete individual mailboxes, but what about indexes, sieve-scripts and home-directories? Are there any tools to clean out these ?
Do you have all of those files in separate directories? Normally I'd think everything is under home dir, so you can just:
Unfortunately, for historical reasons, yes. The users doesn't have a home-directory, or the inbox is directly in their home.. so I don't think sieve fits there, and indexes are kept elsewhere for performance reasons.
rm -rf
doveadm user -f home $username
Ah, great. Looking up the home dir via doveadm helps.
For deleting indexes and other dirs that are not under home.. well.. I guess you'll need some more scripting.
What happens to the indexes when we delete the mailboxes via "doveadm mailbox delete" ? Will that clean up the indexes ?
