Name

ec_mta_sts_purge — Remove expired MTA-STS policies from the file system.

Synopsis

/opt/msys/ecelerity/bin/ec_mta_sts_purge [ -dir directory ]

/opt/msys/ecelerity/bin/ec_mta_sts_purge [ -dryrun ]

/opt/msys/ecelerity/bin/ec_mta_sts_purge [ -v | -verbose ]

Description

The ec_mta_sts_purge command is a utility script used to remove expired MTA-STS policies from the file system.

Momentum caches MTA-STS policies on the file system. This is to reduce how often Momentum needs to fetch the policies using HTTPS. This also prevents a large number of fetches on a restart. These policies will normally get updated regularly, but if some domains have not been used for a long time, this command can be used to delete the expired policy files for these domains from the file system.

Note

The ec_mta_sts_purge script will delete files in the default location. If you have specified a different location via mta_sts_policy_store, the -dir option must be used.

The following options change the behavior of the ec_mta_sts_purge command:

-dir directory

Specify the full path to the directory where the policy files are stored. Default is /var/spool/ecelerity/mtasts.

-dryrun

If this option is specified, the script will just list the files that would be deleted.

The following is an example:

/opt/msys/ecelerity/bin/ec_mta_sts_purge -dryrun -dir /path/to/policy/files
