i hope this is the right place to ask. any pointer or suggestion much appreciated!

how can i remove messages in quarantine, mass delete all of them? a folder?

#i try to set in /var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php

Code: Select all

define('QUARANTINE_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 0);

#and force it by

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/mailwatch/tools/Cron_jobs/mailwatch_quarantine_maint.php --clean

but i dont think this is correct method and didnt work for me anyway.

i have 7000 messages hanging around on mailwatch that makes my ocd kick in high gear:
Cron <clam@ > [ -x /usr/bin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh ] && /bin/bash /usr/bin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh > /dev/null

doing this stopped the messages but now i want to clean them up
yararulesproject_enabled="no"
enable_yararules="no"
sudo rm /var/lib/clamav/*yar
sudo rm /var/lib/clamav/*yara
sudo service clamd start

thank you!

This is the right place to ask questions

You mention "7000 messages hanging around on mailwatch that makes my ocd kick in high gear".

I you wake up and your house is on fire, that should kick you in high gear, not having a some mail

To manage the number of mail entries, you have 2 options. (Your assumed MailScanner version: 5.0.7)
/var/www/html/mailscanner/conf.php

Code: Select all

// Define how many days of emails to keep.
define('RECORD_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 60); 

/* Quarantine settings */
// The quarantine flag is available from MailScanner 4.43.        
// It will drammatically improved the speed of quarantine operations
// but requires that you use the quarantine_maint.php in place of
// the clean.quarantine script provided with MailScanner.
define('QUARANTINE_USE_FLAG', true);
define('QUARANTINE_DAYS_TO_KEEP', 30);

next in /etc/MailScanner/defaults

Code: Select all

## Cron Job Actions
# MailScanner cron jobs are executed like this:
# hourly items: /usr/sbin/ms-cron HOURLY
# daily items:  /usr/sbin/ms-cron DAILY
# daemon check: /usr/sbin/ms-cron CHECK
# maintenance:  /usr/sbin/ms-cron MAINT
# This sets how many days files will remain in the "quarantine" area before
# being automatically removed. Set to 0 (zero) to disable.
# This is executed during the MAINT cron option.
#
q_days=30
