Hey everyone,
I've got a bit of a dilemna. We've installed some new security/auditing software (spyware basically) here at work. I've set the logs to be sent to me (since I'm the sysadmin), and set up a rule in Mail to drop them all in their own folder for later review.
My problem is this. First, there are LOTS of them (1 a day for every user) and they're rather large (HTML formatted record of ALL machine activity essentially... categorized of course). I would very much like to be able to delete these things after an arbitrary period (say 30 or 60 days).
The only way I've found to do this is to:
Create a new "dummy" account with an (unused) Drafts or Junk folder. Apply a rule that filters all these records into this account/folder and then apply an expiration in the "Special Folders" area of the account preferences for that folder.
For obvious reasons this sucks.
Can anyone think of an easy (and preferably transparent) way I could get these things to expire from within my own mail folder instead of all this run-around? Note, I don't want ANYTHING else to expire except the messages in this one folder (well, I do, but at different times and for different reasons like Junk/Drafts/Trash).
Any thoughts?
