Keeping good mail much longer

Post by hotwired »

Hi,
I have not been able to figure out how to keep mail any longer than the default. What I mean is this: When I login to MailWatch, I can run reports for a particular account or email address, and when I click on one, I'm taken to a screen where I can click on a link at the bottom and the actual message will be show. With any message older than a couple of months, however, that link at the bottom disappears. I'd like that link to stick around for at least 6 months or so. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Sounds like you need to extend the quarantine hold period in /usr/mailscanner/etc/defaults - around line 39.

Obviously disk space can become an issue with extended quarantine retention periods.
