similar to: Logrotation with retention period

It seems like the files sent to the samba spool and then over to CUPS seem to stay in the /var/spool/samba directory indefinately. Is there a fix to this via a configuration, or just setting up a cron job to purge? Thanks

Hi there This is weird. On my latest Ubuntu server Dovecot seems to write to /var/log/dovecot.log.1 instead of a recently created /var/log/dovecot.log Here my logrotate config for Dovecot: /var/log/dovecot.log { ??????? su root syslog ??????? rotate 7 ??????? missingok ??????? copytruncate ??????? create 666 root syslog ??????? sharedscripts ??????? postrotate ??????????? doveadm log

Hi all Sorry, it is the second attempt due to wrong format of the first message. In my Dovecot there are 3 files of logging (debug, info and .log) While executing logrotation, the new files are created, but the previos ones, namely dovecot.*.1 are still in use by the process Here is the logger process in memory: root 19140 0.0 0.0 4140 1576 ? S Mar12 0:06 dovecot/log Here the files it uses

Hi list, on my Debian box there is a logrotation cron job that will gzip existing /var/log/mail.log file and create a new mail.log. It seems that after running logrotation dovecot stops logging successful POP or IMAP logins to /var/log/mail.log (nevertheless, it still works to login with POP or SMTP). This is bad because pop-before-smtp mechanisms also stop working. I have deactivated

>From the manpage: SIGNALS Dovecot handles the following signals as described: USR1 Force dovecot to reopen all configured log files (log_path, info_log_path and debug_log_path). So, you need to add kill -s USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pod` (or wherever your distribution puts the PID for dovecot) in your log-rotate file, to tell Dovecot to use the new log

2.0.5 (on linux) has a small annoyance in that, when the log files get rotated, kill -HUP won't point the daemons to the new log files. They keeps logging to the old ones until they are stopped/started. Does 2.0.6 fix this?

Thanks man You suggesting the same as https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Logging says? postrotate kill -s 0 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` || kill -s USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` endscript Well, I already tried that and didn't work. Hence my guess that it's something else. On 15/06/18 13:19, Stephen Satchell wrote: > From the manpage: > SIGNALS > Dovecot

Hello, I'm using the 'samba_backup' script with the self compiled version. I noticed the retention period not being applied to etc and sysvol tar.bz2 files. Looking at the script it appears to only list the following at the end 'find $WHERE -name "samba4_*bz2" -mtime +$DAYS -exec rm {} \;' Can I also include the etc and sysvol tars in the command? Any

I access e-mail from different PCs, typically using Thunderbird e-mail client. Thunderbird has a a "retention policy" it can set on a folder by folder basis. Policies such as how long to keep messages for, or how many messages to keep. Is there a way to set those policies on the server itself? Thank you

Hi, I've been experimenting with using Lazy_Expunge as a tool to enforce document retention policies (by keeping users from deleting emails forever, instead expiring them after a set time). My problem is, how do I keep the user from deleting/expunging mails *inside the expunge folder itself*? I am using dovecot-1.2.10 built from FreeBSD's ports tree, and I am using the following

I am currently using dovecot 0.99.14p1 on OpenBSD 3.8, mbox format, procmail+sendmail MTA. I subscribe to quite a few mailing lists and currently have procmail sorting mail into the proper mboxes. I was hoping there would be some sort of retention policy feature built in to dovecot. I want to delete mail more than X days old from X folders. I have combed the documentation, list archives, and

Hi, im trying to work out my backup with a monthly retention, wondering how i could keep a backup that is 30 days old all the time...i mean....if i rsync the daily backup today with the monthly one in 30 days the monthly will be the monthly backup but the day of the rsync will not be 30 days old, the only option i see is have 3 backed up files rotating every two months to at least keep a 30 days

Hi, I''m trying to do a simple data retention hack wherein I keep hourly, daily, weekly and monthly zfs auto snapshots. To save space, I want the dailies to go away when the weekly is taken. I want the weeklies to go away when the monthly is taken. From what I''ve gathered, it seems time slider just deletes the eldest snapshot when there''s space contention.

Hello All, I am in the United States where we have e-discovery rules. Some organizations have to retain data for a certain amount of time, others are required to have a data retention policy. This means that while it should probably be possible for a user to "delete" an email so they do not see it. The server needs to store it, possibly in a tree that mirrors the folder setup of
