Disk Usage and Maintenance

* are you running PMG in a cluster or as a single node?

Single node

this is not quite right - pmgspamreport.service is used for sending out quarantine reports to the users (and cleaning up the quarantine) - pmgreport.service is used to send out the daily admin reports - both of them are invoked (unless you turn it off manually) by their respective systemd-timers.

It seems I have misunderstood how it works.
A haven't touched any timers or services. Here is my setup:

are you running the latest version? (pmgversion -v)

What is then needed to set, to have old spam purged automatically?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

anything in the journal regarding the pmgspamreport.timer and associated pmgspamreport.service?

does the diskspace get freed if you run pmgqm purge manually?

Oh. My apology. It looks like old spam is purged indeed. I just wasn't expecting that we are getting THAT MUCH spam weekly.

Thank you for helping me to realise this.

Thank you for helping me to realise this.

Glad the cause of the issue was found (and that it's not a bug)
