Mailbox maintenance

Enabling the cleaner

gromox-cleaner.timer runs the cleaner daily, but it is not enabled after installation. Check and enable it once retention and backup requirements are settled (see the post-installation checklist and gromox-cleaner.service(8)):

systemctl status gromox-cleaner.timer
systemctl enable --now gromox-cleaner.timer

Periodic clearing of Trash folder

To automatically empty the trash folder (a.k.a. wastebasket) of all mailboxes, you can extend the cleaner service unit with the following override (systemctl edit gromox-cleaner.service):

/etc/systemd/system/gromox-cleaner.service.d/override.conf

[Service]
Environment=softdelete_purgetime=30d trashbin_purgetime=7d
