+ However, this will delete attachments that are currently in use by people
+ sending email when the cron job runs. You can either (1) make sure that
+ the cron job runs at an obscure hour and hope that nobody gets upset, or
+ (2) you can run a modified version of the commands above. Check out the
+ man pages for other commands such as 'find' or 'tmpreaper'.
+
+ One sample script you could set up that would erase all attachments, but
+ wouldn't erase preferences, address books, or the like (just in case your
+ attachment directory is the same as your data directory) might look like
+ this:
+
+ $ rm `find /var/attach/directory -atime +2 | grep -v "\." | grep -v _`
+
+ Remember to be careful with whatever method you do use, and to test out
+ the command before it potentially wipes out everyone's preferences.
