Default Auto delete emails

Is it possible to automatically delete emails from an account? I have an account setup for catching spam and want to have it purged every couple days.

Thanks

If that account is just a spam trap then set-up a filter to delete the email as it arrives.

Is your server running 24/7? If it is there should be a cron job that runs to clean out the junk & trash folders. Which version/release of zimbra is this?

Yes, it is. Give use some details of your installed zimbra release/version and whether the cron jobs are install and whether your system is running 24/7.

However, counting mine, there is exactly 1 vote for it.

According to brian's bugzilla note it is happening on FC5, and is reported on SuSE10 also.

It is probably happening to quite a few people, but since the cron job is being redirected to /dev/null ( /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmpurgemessages > /dev/null 2>&1 ) they probably don't notice any errors.


I suggest you try running /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmpurgemessages manually (as the Zimbra user, su - zimbra first) and see if there is any output. If you get a segmentation fault, then the bug is probably affecting you too.

Unhappy FC5 and 4.5 RC1 have the same problem !

Spam is never deleted indeed !

When i execute this command i get :

[zimbra@webmail root]$ /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmpurgemessages
Segmentation fault

I have voted for this bug ! Hoping some other people do the same !
Spam is really annoying these days as there are most of the time more spam messages than good email messages !
