Store analysis

Question

Hi,
We are running Messaging Server: Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-4.01 libimta.so 6.3-4.01
We are planning to implement message expire rule by age and implement quota in our existing setup. We need to get some analysis on store done to decide a cut of point. What is the best approach
imquotacheck command gives usage per user and per hosted domain. Is there a possibilty to find out the usage by user that is consumed by emails older than 1 year.
Thanks in advance
Regards Suru

=> Parse through the store partitions and collect timestamps for all of the *.msg files in peoples accounts... collate and generate reports.
=> Use the imexpire command in 'test' mode (-n) to see what each potential expiration policy will remove e.g.
bash-3.00# cat /tmp/test.expire
Rule1.regexp: 1
Rule1.folderpattern: user/.*
Rule1.messagedays: 180
./imexpire -n -d -v 2 -f /tmp/test.expireNOTE: You need to be very careful with the imexpire command, you don't want to accidentally delete peoples emails.
imquotacheck command gives usage per user and per hosted domain. Is there a possibilty to find out the usage by user that is consumed by emails older than 1 year.This information isn't stored in quota database therefore imquotacheck isn't able to provide it. Keeping a record of the age of every email would result in a massive database for very little reason.
