bulletin-expire1

Usage

Overview

This program is used to expire bulletins created by the maildir-bulletin program. It is designed to be run as root, but if root isn't the adminsitrative account for email then it could be run as another user. For example if you have all mail storage as user mail then you should probable run this program as user mail too.

Parameters

The default mode of operation is to check the expiry time set in the bulletins and after removing all links to a bulletin file it will move the bulletin to the removed subdirectory of the bulletins directory.

If you specify one or more file names on the command line then it will process them instead, however if you specify the files it will not move the files it will just remove links to them.
