Automated purge of deleted email items

[Scott Elcomb]

Hi all,

I've been tasked with a project that I'm not quite sure how to
approach.  I have a several hundred mail users (IMAP) that aren't
exactly power users.  Many of them don't seem to understand how to
purge deleted email in their mail clients (mostly Outlook or Outlook
Express).  Is there a way to automate this process on the server, such
that once a day (via cron) the system cycles through all the mailboxes
and automagically purges any items marked as deleted?

TIA,
- Scott.
