Subject: Re: Size of Data Files.

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?

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.

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?
