Forwarding question

2000-12-05 16:20:46
This may or may not be the correct forum for this question, but I figured I would take a shot. We have developed a web utility that allows our users to forward their account to another email address. This has been working great, one downside is that sometimes they want to also forward all of their mail that is currently sitting in their mailbox, which we have not done. Now it is easy enough for them to check their mail one last time. However, something else I have run into is that looking through our users who have forwarded their mail, I have noticed that a large majority of them are using several MB of disk space that has not been touched for months and in some cases years. Now I know that several MB doesn't seem like much by multiply several MB times 10,000 users and that is a significant amount.

So my question for the group is....

Is it possible or has someone already written a program that will take someone's mailbox and forward all mail to another account and then remove those messages off of the system?
