RE: [gotmail] Temporary file not being deleted

[John Fruetel]

I've noticed the same thing happen on my computer, but I haven't looked into
it.  It's supposed to clean up the temp files after both normal and error
exits, but it doesn't always do it.

It's perfectly safe to delete them.  It's what I'm doing for the time being
myself.

Subject: [gotmail] Temporary file not being deleted

Greetings,

I am currently using gotmail-0.8.1. I have been using gotmail for at least a
year and have been very satisfied with it. We use it for our small network
here pulling about a half dozen Hotmail accounts. Each user runs a script
that pulls their account and send them to postfix to deliver to the user
with spam checking (Spamassassin) and virus detection (Clamav).

Recently, I have noticed an excessive number of temporary files remaining in
the /tmp directory every day. There is over one hundred for the last two
days. They seem to be related to error in the gotmail log but I can not say
there is a one-to-one correspondence to errors. 

Does gotmail delete temporary files on errors? If not, should it? If it
does, what needs to be configured?

Can I delete the temporary files after gotmail completes execution? I
currently delete them after two days.

Thanks,
Jens
