Cron job help!

[seth.aldridge]

I am new to using the cron tab but I am looking to create a chunk of code that will run every evening at 2AM and will delete any emails that are in a specific email account.

For example:

We have a partners email address that if a message is sent to that address it gets mailed to all three of us. Since it is using the Mail Group feature to distribute the message, but we are not actually downloading the messages so I need to delete them after a certain amount of time to keep the inbox open to receiving email.

I need help in writing a Cron job that will check the inbox every night at 2AM and delete all the emails from this mailbox.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks,
Seth

Why not just disable the mailbox for that mailname and only use the mailgroup feature for that mailname?

Because that would be too easy!

I didn't realize that would work. I saw the error and figured it wouldn't get the email to I set it back

Thanks,
Seth
