>Description:

The cyrus port takes no steps to insure the deliver databases are
properly pruned. This can be quite easily accomplished on a daily basis
by adding a periodic file to take care of this. This should be a model
for other ports that require daily/weekly/monthly actions. Why else did
we bother to break up the cron jobs into the /etc/periodic* structure?


>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

The port/package should add this as /etc/periodic/daily/600.cyrus:

#!/bin/sh
#
#
# If there is a global system configuration file, suck it in.
#
if [ -r /etc/defaults/periodic.conf ]
then
	. /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
	source_periodic_confs
fi

if [ -x /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver ] ; then
	echo /usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -E 3 | su -m cyrus && rc=0 || rc=3
	rc=0
else
	echo "deliver isn't executable"
	rc=2
fi

exit $rc
