[SA-exim] clearing out SAspamaccept

[Thomas Kinghorn]

Hi all.

Is there a way of clearing out the messages is SApermreject directory.

i would like to clear messages older than 21 days.

I was thinking of something like this

find /var/spool/exim/SApermreject/new/ -mtime +21 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -Rf

For some reason I need the arg rm -Rf, not just rm.

Please advise.

Thanks for the previous help.

Tom

You could try something like,

find /var/spool/exim/SAspamaccept -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 rm

Which will remove anything modified (or created in this case) over seven
days. The -0 deals with the horrid filenames being produced.

You could have this scheduled to happen at regular intervals. Look in
man 5 crontab and man 1 crontab.
