I want to shrink by purging the older emails previous deleted manually. I has the Auto-Purge setting.
I suppose that I can not do it configuring "Default message expire policy for private mailboxes". Or can I? I suppose that is to delete and purge active messages.
Seldom times appear notifications of purged messages at Aide and if so only one purged message or EEDI (??)
Are there some way to shrink the size of the main citadel data file without compromizing the citadel stability?
Do you have the auto-purger configured to delete "old" messages?
You can do this at the site-wide level, or on an individual room (such as your trash folder).
If new data is arriving at approximately the same rate old data is expiring, then yes, eventually you will reach an equilibrium where the database files stabilize in size.
Do look in the Aide room for messages confirming this. The helpful Citadel Aide will tell you how many objects are being deleted during the nightly purger run.
You can define a purge rule for every folder. Also a rule to move it to archive.

A user without Administrator level can not do this. Am I right? Why so?

depends on rights of the folders. but your own folders like inbox, archive and so on, you can.

I think you are providing a semi-featured Citadel. The purge is not working. It supposed to purge the messages from 1st of February and it is not doing.

This works really good for me. I have different purge rules for different folders. The purge will done with
Will done on Auto-Purge Job.
My Citadel Version is 1022 now for a long time.
If you want know more about my settings, let me know.

That's really neat. The current implementation of Citadel was specifically designed so that it can run as a self-sufficient standalone service or be part of a larger software ecosystem. I'm thrilled to see that you're doing the latter.
I'm curious how you've coupled Postfix and Citadel. Are you using the LMTP socket?
At the moment I'm actually not using LMTP between Postfix and Citadel.
The current setup uses Postfix mainly as SMTP frontend together with the traditional virtual/local transport model while Citadel remains the central communication and storage platform behind it.
I intentionally kept the architecture relatively classic and modular instead of tightly coupling everything together.
The overall goal was long-term maintainability, transparency and low operational complexity while still implementing modern mail security standards around the platform.

At the moment I'm actually using Postfix as SMTP frontend together with Rspamd, and then forwarding internally to Citadel via SMTP on port 2025.
So the current architecture is roughly:
Internet -> Postfix -> Rspamd -> Citadel SMTP
I intentionally kept the setup modular and relatively classic Unix-oriented instead of tightly coupling everything together.
LMTP is something I'm currently evaluating, but the existing SMTP-based integration has been extremely stable and easy to maintain so far.

Some system specs... Maybe this isn’t the right thread for it, but if you’re interested, let’s talk about it ;)
