space on /var going down (11.74GB [14%])

Hi,
My free space on /var was dropping a few days ago from 80% to 14%
I changed the Quarantine Retention to 1 day but the space is still allocated.
Any ideas how to get back to 80% and how to find the used space ?
Thanks
Martin

Where did you change the quarantine retention setting?

In the efa config menu
mailwatch settings
Quarantine Retention
is that the wrong way ?

That should be fine.
If you execute the following, do you see anything?
Code: Select all
sudo /usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/db_clean.php
sudo /usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/quarantine_maint.php --clean

What does the retention actually say in /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php ?

do you mean this parameter ?
// Define how many days of emails to keep
define('RECORD_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 2);
// Define how many days to audit logs to keep
define('AUDIT_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 60);

This is also set to 2 days
define('QUARANTINE_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 2);

Okay, that looks good.
Was the time ever wrong on your system, i.e. in the future? In rare cases I have seen this.

Yeah, anything in /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/<date> is fair game. You can go through and remove things, just know anything still in the database that links to these files won't open anymore, of course

Yes, you should be able to clear those out.

This file is 71GB, so this can be the issue
EDIT: I see you've already solved the issue!

I think this needs to be added to the regular maintenance to clear these useless files out.
Code: Select all
find /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp -mtime +1 -print | xargs rm -f

Since EFA is still on Centos6, You can use package
tmpwatch also to do some housekeeping on useless files.
By default, tmpwatch dates files by their atime (access time)
the /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp is perfect candidate for tmpwatch
just add in /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch at the end:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/sh
flags=-umc
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix \
-x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix \
-X '/tmp/hsperfdata_*' -X '/tmp/.hdb*lock' -X '/tmp/.sapstartsrv*.log' \
-X '/tmp/pymp-*' 10d /tmp
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" 30d /var/tmp
for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do
if [ -d "$d" ]; then
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -f 30d "$d"
fi
done
# ----- User defined cleanup-jobs -----
# MailScanner_incoming
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch -u 48 /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
