Prune exclusion
-
Hello,
we currently run the prune command through midnight.bat set for 7 days but we have one user that needs it disabled. (person needs all the emails, just in case, for a longer period.)
Is there a way to exclude a specific user from prune command?
also, we added "skipautoprune=yes" under settings to HIWATER.MRK file under sent items and deleted items folder in hopes of disabling prune on those folders for a specific user. Would this be valid?
Thank you!

What is the command line you are using in the midnight.bat file?
-
Thank you for your reply.
Command we are using is
Accountprune.exe /m /d=7 /p="Trash.IMAP"
Accountprune.exe /m /d=7 /p="Deleted Messages.IMAP"
and so on...

Yes, adding SkipAutoPrune=Yes to the hiwater.mrk file in the specific folders that you want to skip should work.
The accountprune log will show something like this:
[Wed 2024-10-16 07:14:38] Path: C:\MDaemon\Users\domain\mailbox\Trash.IMAP
[Wed 2024-10-16 07:14:38] Skipped C:\MDaemon\Users\domain\mailbox\Trash.IMAP\ because SkipAutoPrune=Yes

Thank you for the reply.
Just wanted to confirm... there isnt a AutoPrune command parameter we could add to skip delete for users?
SkipAutoPrune is good but just trying to find out a way to do it without going into individual user accounts as its easy to lose track.
we were hoping for a resolution within the MIDNIGHT.BAT file, if possible.
Thank you.

There are other options, they may be more work though.
You could use a seperate command line for each user using the /u switch. If you have lots of users it could be cumbersome.
accountprune.exe /m /d=7 /p="Trash.IMAP" /u="user1@domain.com"
accountprune.exe /m /d=7 /p="Trash.IMAP" /u="user2@domain.com"
accountprune.exe /m /d=7 /p="Trash.IMAP" /u="user4@domain.com"
If that is too cumbersome, you could write a powershell script that retrieves a list of users using the XML-API, and then iterates through the list running the command for each user except the ones you want excluded.

Thank you for the quick reply!
