Message remains in spool after expunge

[Arnaldo Viegas de Lima]

Thank you to all that quickly answered (Patrick/Merlin/Sebastian).

I really missed this one. Maybe because I migrated from 2.4 direct to 3.0.3 in 2.5. Indeed one of my comments about the migration is that a list of “behavior” changes could go a long way  into helping the whole process.

Now comes an interesting challenge: I do like the delayed expunge. It’s nice an ingenious and for our installation a nice feature, so I really want to keep it.

But my script needs to process the files in the directory. Up to now the files where listed (filesystem) and a search was used to identify it on Cyrus. With leftover (delayed) files, is there a way to list the messages on the mailbox in Cyrus and obtain the actual filename?

Thanks again,

Arnaldo.
