I have been using Virtualmin for almost two years now, and I'm pretty happy with it. Before I always used Plesk, but now I have no need for it. But I have seen a strange thing on my VPS servers for a long time now. The following three directories fills up with messages files. After a few months the folders can take several GB of space.
/var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ /root/Maildir/new/ /var/log/maillog
I'm not using my servers for any mail at all. The first thing I disable on Virtualmin is Mail for domain, Mailman, dovecot and postfix (disabled on bootup). In my firewall (CSF) I have removed all mail ports (like 25, 110, 143, 585, 993 and 995)
Still, the three named directories fills up with files. All small, but the total numbers is enormous.
My solution to this has been to use a small script that runs every hour, on every VPS server I have. It's a simple rm -f and the directories. The issue happens on all old and new servers I install. Can't find the real issue here. How can I stop this from happening?
I'm using CentOS 6.x on all servers and Virtualmin 4.04.
