[Dovecot] Expire plugin does not work
Hi. I test expire plugin for my dovecot 1.1.8. But, it seems to not work. I have 3 mailboxes on my machine. I want my messages in Junk and Trash expire after 1 day. I removed all messages in them before installing expire plugin. See my dovecot.conf: expire: Trash 1 Junk 1 expire_dict: proxy::expire My dabatases in /var/lib/dovecot are used. When I launch /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool --test, it says: Info: user3@domain.tld/Trash: stop, expire time in future: Wed Feb 4 21:00:50 2009 Why this message? I have 3 mailboxes, and the message appears only with this mailbox. The 2 others mailbox have mails into Trash and Junk folders. And the mail are older than 2 days. An ls -lcs say it. When I launch /usr/local/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/expire-tool, no messages appears. Nothing in my dovecot logs. Nothing (and I set mail_debug). No messages are deleted. In a mailbox1, I have this into Junk/cur directory: 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3822 Feb 2 13:39 1233569469.M275631P48216.***.***.net,S=3822,W=3945:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3004 Feb 2 15:43 1233585799.M730005P46882.***.***.net,W=3078,S=3004:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3056 Feb 2 17:49 1233587786.M676156P51401.***.***.net,S=3056,W=3132:2,S 4 -rw------- 1 dovecot dovecot 3732 Feb 2 17:49 1233592892.M701994P52459.***.***.net,S=3732,W=3823:2,S We are Feb 4, and these message are always here. No informations with mail_debug, or with --test parameter.These messages were arrived Feb 2, and they might have this date in dovecot.index.cache... How expire plugin is working? I don't understand it... -- -Nicolas.

Dovecot tracks the timestamp when the message was copied to Trash, not necessary its ctime. So you probably copied the message to Trash on Feb 3 21:00:50, which is why it'll get expunged at Feb 4 21:00:50.

Was expire plugin enabled then? If it wasn't, it didn't add them to its database so it doesn't know about them.

Yes, expire plugin was enabled. I delete ALL my spams and ALL my Trash mails.
