[Kolab-devel] delprune setting in cyrus.conf

[Richard Bos]

While upgrading the cyrus package on openSUSE, the cyrus.conf file was 
modified, which resulted in the following diff:

# diff -u cyrus.conf.2008-01-31 cyrus.conf
--- cyrus.conf.2008-01-31       2008-01-31 13:52:28.000000000 +0100

-  delprune     cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" period=1440
+  delprune      cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400


The cyrus.conf file that comes with cyrus sources (normal.conf) has the
same (at=0400) setting (copy from that file below):
EVENTS {
  # this is required
  checkpoint    cmd="ctl_cyrusdb -c" period=30

  # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression,
  # Sieve or NNTP
  delprune      cmd="cyr_expire -E 3" at=0400

  # this is only necessary if caching TLS sessions
  tlsprune      cmd="tls_prune" at=0400
}

Is there a special reason to use period=1440 instead of at=0400?  Or is the
at=0400 later added to the normal.conf instead of the period=1440?

Is period=1440 okay?  It could result in an expire command running during
busy traffic hours (high load) on the server, which is not desired.
