Clean.quarantine

[Denis Beauchemin]

Peter,

My quarantine dir is named /quarantaine (which is French for quarantine). /quarantaine/usherbrooke gets all emails destined to our local email addresses, while /quarantaine/autres gets the others (autres means others).

BTW there was a typo in the crontab entries that got concatenated on a single line. The entries should look like this:
# delete nonspam older than 2 days
5 0 * * * /bin/rm -rf /quarantaine/*/$(date +\%Y\%m\%d --date "2 days ago")/nonspam

# delete spam older than 40 days
5 0 * * * /bin/rm -rf /quarantaine/*/$(date +\%Y\%m\%d --date "40 days ago")/

Denis

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I don't get this bit, which seems to be stopping me from understanding what you are doing.

The file contains:
To:  *@usherbrooke.ca           /quarantaine/usherbrooke
To:  default                    /quarantaine/autres

Then below that you use "quarantaine" a couple more times, is that just a typo?

Cheers,

Peter
