Hello,
I know how the expire plugin (should) work. I am actually happy that the expire-plugin works as is is defined.
However, the plugin does not work.
- the folder /var/mail/root is created (empty) for no reason (root mails should be forwarded to me, stef)
- the mails in /var/mail/stef/Spam and/or /var/mail/stef/Trash are not expunged after the determined time
As written in my original mail, I did a strace. In the strace, I see
that expire-tool 'reads' /var/mail/root and 'reports' that
/var/mail/stef has no e-mails.
So, I see two options:
- I made a configuration error (but I don't see it, and I did some serious looking via google and on the wiki, but maybe it's so obvious I didn't pay attention)
- there is a bug in expire-tool
I wrote this e-mail because I suspect the latter [but please inform me if it's the first]
Thanks for your consideration
Stef

It doesn't go by the email date, it goes by the date/time the email was moved into that folder.
In other words, it won't effect emails that were *already* *in* the folder.
Personally, I'd love to see the tool have an option to go by the email date/time instead of when it was moved into the folder...
So in that case could you move them out and back again? I am considering using the plugin, but I'm still in the info gathering phase.
