Sun Java System Messaging Server 6 2005Q4 Administration Reference

imexpire

imexpire automatically removes messages from the message store based on administrator-specified criteria. The criteria can be set in the Admin Console GUI, with configutil parameters, or in a file called store.expirerule. (See the Sun Java System Messaging Server Administration Guide detailed usage information.) The following removal criteria can be specified:

Folder pattern
Number of messages in the mailbox
Total size of the mailbox
Age, in days, that messages have been in the mailbox
Size of message and grace period (days that a message exceeding the size limit will remain in the message store before removal)
Whether a message has been flagged as seen or deleted
By header and field

Note –

The functionality of imexpire has been expanded and the interface has changed since earlier versions of Messaging Server. However, this version continues to support older imexpire configurations.

Requirements: Must run on local machine (the machine that holds the message store files). Some or all of the following may be required: local.schedule.expire, local.schedule.purge, store.cleanupage, local.store.expire.loglevel, store.expirerule.rulename.attribute, store.expirestart, local.store.expire.workday, local.store.expire.cleanonly

Location: msg_svr_base/sbin
