I have a CentOS 7 with postfix.

E-mails are stored in:

Var/vmail/DomainName/Usernames/Maildir/.Junk/

The only variable is the Usernames that correspond to each mailbox.

I could use a script to count the files for each address junk folder and put them into a centralized text file.

What would be the simplest way to do this so that I can have an output like:

Username1: nn

Username2: nn

.............

Where nn is the number of files in the junk folder of the respective user.

  • can you post the output of ls -lrt Var/vmail/DomainName/Usernames/Maildir/.Junk Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:09
  • Using ls -lrt /var/vmail/vmail1/DomainName/Username1/Maildir/.Junk/new/ outputs: total 40 and lists permissions, dates and names of the 3 files that are in the junk/new/ folder. Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:19

  • line 8: find: command not found line 8: wc: command not found Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:24
  • replace find and wc with this /usr/bin/find /usr/bin/wc Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:27
  • Putting that to both find and wc worked, but now I get the main path doubled (and invalid path due to that). And a wierd " â" character at start and end of path. Fixed that, it was a lowercase at fault. Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:31
  • do we have sub direcotry inside the .Junk ? add -maxdepth 1 in the find command to scan only 1 level Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:38
  • No need for depth, it's fine now. However, do correct in your answer by removing /var/vmail/DomainName/ from the PATH=, or else the path will double (and I'll mark it as correct). Commented Oct 12, 2016 at 9:44
