Re: Expire 1.3

I had looked at using Proon, but my use for squirrelmail and hmailserver
is more of a backup server where the users normally do not log in unless
their mail server is down.  That is why I was looking at Expire.  I can
only do REAL basic scripts so unless I can find someone to convert
Expired's script to one I can run under windows I will have to use Proon
and setup a macro to login to the account to clear the mail.  The
problem with that is if the user changes the password.

Ya, I know with routing you can setup hmailserver with routing so that
the mail is not stored permanently on the server, but the user wants his
mail to be current in the backup server with mail from not just after
the power outage but before as well.   So if I don't purge the real old
mail the mail account would grow way to large.   

That is basically what I am trying to do.  You wouldn't know of a way to
do it with hmailserver do you?

Thanks

First idea - proon plugin
http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=251

Second idea - Windows has task sheduler.

Third idea - mail-expire is shell script. Theoretically it can be
replaced
with script that works on windows and is suitable for your mail setup.
