Purging

Post by keat63 »

I'm running Exim on CentOS with pop3 mail boxes.
If I try to open an email via WHM 'Mail Delivery Reports' after the user has downloaded it, it fails, as the message no longer exists.

However, I can still open the message via MSFE 'MailControl'
Does MSFE store email messages after theyv'e been downloaded from a pop3 mailbox. ?

Is there anything in place to stop the server clogging up. ?

The MailScanner Front-End will store a copy of all messages in quarantine if you have configured it to do so, for example by clicking the "Enable Store Messages" button in the main Mail Control page.

By default it will keep a copy of the messages for 7 days and will delete messages older than that. You can change this in Mail Control > Menu > Mail Control Settings > "Keep x days of Stored Messages".

Is there a particular time this will happen.
I've changed these settings to 2 days, reloaded and restarted MSFE, but still have entries in 'Mail Control' going back 3 days.

I came back to work this morning to find only 2 days worth, so I assume some sort of scheduled cron job is sheduled to run.
