SoAustin.Net Info

Mailbox archiving has been implemented. This does two things.

First, for all users, your Spam folder will be purged of messages older than 90 days. For more information on how your Spam folder works, read this article: Spam Divertion Implemented

Second, for users that are not actively using their soaustin.net mailbox, messages in your main inbox older than 180 days will be removed, compressed, and saved to a file in your home directory named something like Maildir-archive-2010.gz.

Note that the year in the filename is the year when the archiving was done, not the year of the message. A message from 2010 archived in 2011 would be saved to Maildir-archive-2011.gz.

If you have accessed your soaustin.net mailbox in the past 90 days, then you are considered an active user. Your Spam folder will be purged of old messages (as described above), but no other changes are made. All other messages are retained, without archiving.
