Question "# doveadm expunge" does not work. Is this a Plesk issue ? How to make this work?

[MHC_1]

Server operating system version

Alma Linux 9.7

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian 18.0.79 Update #4

On command line as root we need to be able to use "doveadm expunge" . Plesk installed Dovecot Version 2.4.4

Command:

# doveadm expunge -u [email protected] mailbox '*' HEADER From '[email protected]' all

This is run but I have the mailbox open elsewhere and the email is not deleted.

Likewise;

# doveadm expunge -u [email protected] mailbox '*' HEADER From 'WordPress <[email protected]>' all

Also does not seem to work. Email remains in the mailbox.

Is this a Plesk constriction?

How can we make the command line remove certain emails from certain "from" addresses via Dovecot?

UPDATE:

Debugging shows:

Jul 29 18:08:55 doveadm([email protected]): Debug: open(/proc/self/io) failed: Permission denied (euid=30(popuser) egid=30(popuser) missing +r perm: /proc/self/io)

Which shows read permission is not granted. We are able to open /proc/self/io from the command line.
