I see discussions of expiring messages, and expiring<br>on the authentication system but nothing regarding <br>expiring the mailbox access from POP/IMAP within<br>cyrus itself.<br><br>We have a couple of authentication systems and use pam
<br>to allow either. One is LDAP from our student registration<br>system, and it allows students to start using email here<br>as soon as they are accepted. However that database<br>and LDAP account never expire - students have rights
<br>to login to the student portal to get marks, register, etc.<br><br>We are not setting up local Unix accounts. The big advantage<br>of cyrus is to not have to do that.<br><br>Unless there is a better way, I can only see managing student
<br>access to their email by deleting mail accounts in cyrus<br>after a certain expiry date has passed.<br><br>In our previous cyrus system there was local authentication, and so<br>use of Solaris account expiry permitted us to expire without
<br>deleting, which allows for quick recovery in case there<br>was a mistake in the data of what accounts to delete.<br><br>Are there any suggestions from what others have done<br>to manage account expiry?<br><br>Regards,
