[Mimedefang] URGENT:/var filling up

[Barry Byrne]

Kevin:

I run a cron job once a day to clear out quarantined files:

*************************

#!/bin/sh

# Remove all files/dirs older than AGE days, matching PATTERN, from SPOOLDIR

SPOOLDIR=/var/spool/MIMEDefang
AGE=7
PATTERN="qdir-*001"

find "$SPOOLDIR" -mtime "+$AGE" -name "$PATTERN" | xargs rm -fr


*****************

cheers,

Barry
