NAME
cyr_expire - expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries
SYNOPSIS
cyr_expire [ -C config-file ] -E expire-days [ -X expunge-days ] [ -v ]
DESCRIPTION
Cyr_expire is used to expire messages and duplicate delivery database
entries. Cyr_expire also cleanses mailboxes of partially expunged mes-
sages (when using the "delayed" expunge mode). The expiration of mes-
sages is controlled by the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox anno-
tation which specifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mail-
box that should be deleted. Any duplicate delivery database entries
which correspond to the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency.
The value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited
by all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be
expired by seting a single annotation on the root of that tree. If a
mailbox does not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation set
on it (or does not inherit one), then no messages are expired from the
mailbox.
Cyr_expire reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5)
file unless specified otherwise by -C.
OPTIONS
-C config-file
Read configuration options from config-file.
-E expire-days
Prune the duplicate database of entries older than expire-days.
This value is only used for entries which do not have a corre-
sponding /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation.
-X expunge-days
Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-days
(when using the "delayed" expunge mode). The default is 0
(zero) days, which will expunge all previously deleted messages.
-v Enable verbose output.
