CYR_EXPIRE(8)                                                                                  CYR_EXPIRE(8)



NAME
       cyr_expire - expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries

SYNOPSIS
       cyr_expire [ -C config-file ] -E expire-days [ -X expunge-days ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
       Cyr_expire  is  used  to  expire  messages  and duplicate delivery database entries.  Cyr_expire also
       cleanses mailboxes of partially expunged messages (when using the "delayed" expunge mode).  The expi-ration expiration
       ration of messages is controlled by the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation which spec-ifies specifies
       ifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mailbox  that  should  be  deleted.   Any  duplicate
       delivery database entries which correspond to the mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency.

       The  value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited by all children of the given
       mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be expired by seting a single annotation on the root  of  that
       tree.   If a mailbox does not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation set on it (or does not
       inherit one), then no messages are expired from the mailbox.

       Cyr_expire reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless  specified  otherwise
       by -C.

OPTIONS
       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -E expire-days
              Prune  the  duplicate database of entries older than expire-days.  This value is only used for
              entries which do not have a corresponding /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation.

       -X expunge-days
              Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-days (when using the "delayed"  expunge
              mode).  The default is 0 (zero) days, which will expunge all previously deleted messages.

       -v     Enable verbose output.
