Hi!

Thanks it worked! But only when I have a specific user instead wldcard (i mean -u *@example.org). Now I think I need to write a script that searches for users in the domain , and starts each of them this command . And apparently it is necessary to add to the cron job..

Thank you very much for your help! My mail users are stored in the SQL base, therefore, using the fact that the my dovecot mailbox folder names correspond to the names of mail users in the domain , I wrote a simple scrpt  and just threw it in a "/etc/cron.daily" folder.

mail:/etc/cron.daily # cat ./dovepurge.sh #!/bin/sh

cd /MailRoot/dovecot/domains

for i in * do cd $i for j in *; do dovecot purge -u $j@$i; done cd .. done

-----screenshot end -----

It is strange that the daemon does not do this automatically , and even setting up autoexpunge option does not help. A lso IMHO certainly evident mistake in the documentation about the wildcards processing by purge command..
