CYR_EXPIRE(8)
NAME
  cyr_expire - expire messages and duplicate delivery database entries

SYNOPSIS
  cyr_expire [ -C config-file ] -E expire-days [ -X expunge-days ] [ -v ]

DESCRIPTION
  Cyr_expire is used to expire messages and duplicate delivery database
  entries.  Cyr_expire also cleanses mailboxes of partially expunged messages
  (when using the "delayed" expunge mode).  The expiration of messages is
  controlled by the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation which
  specifies the age (in days) of messages in the given mailbox that should be
  deleted.  Any duplicate delivery database entries which correspond to the
  mailbox are also deleted at the same frequency.

  The value of the /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation is inherited by
  all children of the given mailbox, so an entire mailbox tree can be expired
  by seting a single annotation on the root of that tree.  If a mailbox does
  not have a /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire annotation set on it (or does not
  inherit one), then no messages are expired from the mailbox.

  Cyr_expire reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
  unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS
  -C config-file
       Read configuration options from config-file.

  -E expire-days
       Prune the duplicate database of entries older than expire-days.	This
       value is only used for entries which do not have a corresponding
       /vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/expire mailbox annotation.

  -X expunge-days
       Expunge previously deleted messages older than expunge-days (when
       using the "delayed" expunge mode).  The default is 0 (zero) days,
       which will expunge all previously deleted messages.

  -v   Enable verbose output.

FILES
  /etc/imapd.conf
