SPAM Cleanup

[swu]

It appears that our SA setup is working, it's flagging messages and looking through the logs, it is learning. What does not seem to be working is the cleanup. I thought the system would empty out the user's Junk folder every night. It hasn't been. Our crontab has among other entries, these which seem to be the learning and cleanup routines.

Is it supposed to clean out everyone's Junk folder every night if there are messages in it? If it is, what should I be checking for a problem?

Thx!

The spam gets emptied from the Junk folders based upon the value contained in the Spam message lifetime field. You can set this by COS or by account.

Where in the COS do you set this please? Maybe I need a new glasses prescription, but I am not seeing it anywhere!

Thanks!

The attr is zimbraMailSpamLifetime and the default setting is 30d. Also the zmtrainsa script (as called from cron) is only responsible for spam training and cleanup of the system spam/ham accounts.

zmpurgemessages is the script that is responsible for purging expired messages.

1. Login to the admin console.
2. Select a Class of Service.
3. Select the Advanced Tab.
4. The parameter is located under the Timeout Policy.

For the Admin UI it's on the COS/Advanced tab (near the bottom).
