Обсуждение: Managing junk mail for RCs?
Guys, We have a simple RoundCube/IMAP setup for the RCs. One issue the RCs often have is that their mailboxes get full of spam between releases. We've limited the size of the mailboxes to limit this issue. However, I'm at a loss as to how to tell RCs whose mailboxes are full how to empty them. The standard deletion procedure involves moving messages to "Trash" and then emptying the trash, but that doesn't work if your mailbox is completely full. Does anyone know a workaround for this? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

There has never been a quota limit (enforced) on that server, so whatever the problem is that is not it. can we get some more details on failures people are actually hitting? Stefan

Ah, I was just preparing instructions for them on what was a common problem last year (before RoundCube). We might want to think about enforcing quotas, or at least tracking mailbox size, though. Otherwise those mailboxes can get huge. If the sysadmins want to send me a report on mailbox size once a month, I'll keep the RC boxes under control. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

This is not really a problem currently, most of those are tiny... As a comparison point your mailbox is larger than all 70 something other mailboxes combined on the system ;) Stefan

Want me to purge it? I've kept all of my emails back to 2003, just in case we should need something for the history of the project. But I could easily archive those. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com
