Is there a command that I can execute that clean all junkmail from all email users to clean out the junkmail folders for each user

So I didn't.

If you read /etc/cron.d/purge_junkmail you will find the command, but the problem is you don't want to be told to read something.

If you wanted to you could set to automatically clear junkmail after say 90 days by doing...

db configuration setprop spamassassin MessageRetentionTime 90

Where 90 is the value you want, then do...

signal-event email-update

90 days is the default setting anyway, if you enable junkmail filtering in server manager.
You would usually run that command to set a different number of days to suit your situation.

i would like to know where the junkmail folder is located for each user. i have looked in the /home/e-smith/files/users/"username"/... under the Mail directory nothing is listed. under the Maildir directory the only options i can see is cur, new, and tmp. nothing is listed under current since the client uses pop3 to download the messages from the server so nothing is saved to the server. under new i am only seeing stuff when the have new messages arriving before they have downloaded them off the server. now under tmp i am not seeing anything.

I am running latest release of SME 7 build in serveronly mode. Contribs that I currently have installed sme7admin, saco-qmHandle-1.3.1, user-manager, and mailstats.

i have also set up a secondary server that has no contribs added to it to see if the ;junkmail folder exists in the /home/e-smith/files/users/"username"/Maildir folder and i am still not seeing the folder but i do see the folder when when logging into webmail.

any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. i had just recently upgraded from SME 6.01 to SME 7.0 to have better control over the volume of spam i am getting. which by the way  has been great so far.

That's correct I was just showing how it works...Should have mentioned it was the default value.

Its in /home/e-smith/files/users/joe/Maildir/.junkmail

If you use mc command you will be able to see...Dont forget because its got a . at the start means its a hidden folder.

thank you so much byte. i just completely spaced out that it could have been a hidden folder. i am guessing this is a change that was added to SME 7 because i could have sworn that in SME 6 with Spamassassin contrib that it was not hidden. anyways thank you now i can clean of some of these junkmail folders from people that get regularly spammed.
