I recently observed a large increase in disk usage on this dedicated mailserver. I attribute it to high spam traffic and/or large attachments for legit email retained on the server.
How can I run a command equivalent to an IMAP client's 'Compact Folder' on the entire tree of maildirs under each /home/(user)?
Deleted items gets a flag against them (look at the name). You could use the find command to locate all such deleted items and purge them..?
