[Maia-users] database issues

[Kurt Buff]

I have Maia running with postfix, etc., on a 68gb partition. I had the system keeping 30 days of quarantine, but have just today lowered that down to 25 days, and am currently running 'expire-quarantine-cache.pl', as disk space is almost full - about 3gb free at the moment. I'll be backing it down in 5 day increments to get quarantine down to 15 days, in the hopes of freeing disk space.

I'm wondering, though, if something is amiss with the MySQL installation on this box, as there are database files in /var/db/mysql that have date stamps well older than 30 days, totalling around 26gbytes.


If anyone can offer advice on this, I'd appreciate it.
