  • Inbound files

    From Alexey Matrosov@2:203/910.1 to Dmitry Protasoff on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 14:55:41
    Hello, Dmitry!

    A little question about those files that we can see in the list in "Inbound files" menu. All the files except the one from this list were already processed by an internal tosser, so to say. They were not deleted after toss. What will happen to those files? :)

    (The unprocessed one is marked red on the picture)

    Mvh,
    Alex.

    I keep processed files for 1 week for now, then they're automatically deleted. It's done to allow users to send me such files in case mail was silently dropped, for my investigation.

    I've decreased the period to 2 days just now, because it looks like no mail was lost during our tests!

    But if the file was not received correctly, it will still be kept for 7 days to allow resumed redownload.

    See you,

    Okay, I see!
    Thanks for the explanation, so the inbound will not eat out all of the disk space :)
