I 've run mailwatch_db_clean.php twice and rebooted

While logged into MailWatch, can you take a snippet of the "Free Disk Space" at the top-center of the page and post here? We want to see how your system was carved up.
Thanks

What's your MailScanner quarantine retention in /etc/MailScanner/defaults ?
What happens when you run this?
Code: Select all
/usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/mailwatch_quarantine_maint.php --clean

only thing obvious is q_days=0
does that mean it not going to delete any !!??

No, actually, it should be 0. Just wanted to double check. eFa uses MailWatch instead to handle this....
MailWatch should be purging items based on QUARANTINE_DAYS_TO_KEEP. How far back can you see in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine folders?

Ok
that seems have freed up 13Gb
I forgot I set q_days=7 before I run the command !
THANK YOU

I'm having the same issue at the moment.
44mb left on /var
/var/lib/mysql/mailscanner has a file name maillog.ibd which is 23.6 GB
Is there a way to shrink this?

Reduce this number here...
/var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php
Code: Select all
// Define how many days of emails to keep.
define('RECORD_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 60);
