expire_dict = proxy::expire
I found this expire_dict somewhere, might have been the 1.x wiki, but on the expire plugin page there is no mention of it. I am trying to troubleshoot why my mysql table has no entries. Do I need this line? Is that correct for using mysql?
In dict {} I have
expire = mysql:/etc/dovecot/conf.d/dovecot-dict-expire.conf.ext
and in plugin {} i have
expire_dict = proxy::expire expire = Trash 30d expire2 = Trash/* 30d expire3 = Spam 14d expire4 = Spam/Removed 6h expire5 = Spam/Delivered 2d expire6 = Deleted* 30d expire7 = Archive 30d
Contents of dovecot-dict-expire.conf.ext
connect = host=servername dbname=mail user=un password=pw
map { pattern = shared/expire/$user/$mailbox table = expires value_field = ts_expires
fields {
username = $user
mailbox = $mailbox
}}
I must admit I dont understand what pattern means, I just copied from something when I was setting this up.
