Hi!
I noticed that this command ... :
for USERNAME in ${USERS};do /usr/local/bin/doveadm -Dv expunge -u "${USERNAME}" mailbox sa.* SAVEDBEFORE 1d done
... does not expunge mails if ran from crontab. It shows in the Debug output what would have been done, but it doesn't really expunge those mails. This command runs daily, and every day the list of expunged mails (in the Debug output) just grows and grows, and the sa.* directories stay the same (except the new mails of course). However, if I run it from a terminal it really expunges the mails.
Example output: doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lib10_quota_plugin.so doveadm(root): Debug: Loading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm doveadm(root): Debug: Skipping module doveadm_expire_plugin, because dlopen() failed: Cannot load specified object (this is usually intentional, so just ignore this message) doveadm(root): Debug: Module loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/doveadm/lib10_doveadm_quota_plugin.so doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6657 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6658 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6659 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6660 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6661 doveadm("${USERNAME}"): Debug: expunge: box=sa.spam uid=6662 [...]
If ran from cron, then the same uids show up every day, and new ones gets added (as new mails gets copied into those directories).
Is there something fishy going on in doveadm-expunge if it has no controlling terminal?
Thanks, Daniel
