Hi

Is there any command to clean up and erase all the test messages for all the users, I have 650 users on this server and I dont want go checking and deleting them all by hand.

if all the accounts will just have e-mail in their inbox, then you could run a script that empties the inbox folder of every user using zmmailbox. a scrdipt of something like this (run as zimbra user)

disclaimer: the following code is untested, written off the top of my head, and is probably not the most efficient way to do things, it's just meant to give you an idea of how to do stuff

#!/bin/bash

for i in `zmprov gaa`
do
zmmailbox -z -m $i ef /Inbox
done

It seems to work, but can you explane to me what exactly does this line do

for i in `zmprov gaa`

zmprov gaa gets is short for getAllAccounts. So it gets all the account names and sets $i to the next account name each time the loop processes. you are passing teh account name to zmmailbox to tell it which account to empty the inbox for

Thanks.

Just tested the server sending 5000 localmails.
The memory usage vent to 5 GB, and it took it like 15 min.
the strange ting is that 10 min after this test, the memory still not released, and still 5 gb while the server not in use.
Is this normal???
