Folks,
We need to write a script to auto purge mail after x days - we are using Exim 4 with the maildir format.
I want to make sure we handle any directories the user might make on the server via IMAP or webmail but at the same time I don't want to risk deleting something I shouldn't.
Right now on my current install I see 2 directories I should NOT process
courierimapkeywords
tmp
My question is am I safe to just skip these 2 directories or is there a better way? For example is there some way I can process every directory and determine if the file I'm looking at is a mail file (and not something else)?
Or would it be valid to say the only mail directories under a user's account is either called "cur" or starts with a period ".someotherfolder"?
Any advise would be appreciated.
TIA!
