Hello all.
I’m using Request Tracker 4.2.1 and Lighttpd (1.4.28-2ubuntu4) via
fastcgi on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Now size of “/opt/rt4/var” directory is 5.2 Gb and full backup archive
of “/opt/rt4/” is very big.
In this directory a lot of folders with random name:
ls -la /opt/rt4/var

Can I delete all this folders from “/opt/rt4/var”? If yes, how to delete
this folders automaticaly? This is cache of attachments?

I may be mistaken but to me those look like they might be procmail storing
mail in a directory because it doesn’t know what else to do with them.
Those shouldn’t be there though so I’d probably first advise that you
resolve that issue before you start using ‘find’ in a crontab to delete
them if they are a certain number of days old or something.

When you ran file on one of these, or opened one up in a text editor,
what was the content of the files?
RT wouldn’t normally write things into /opt/rt4/var. Subdirectories
of /opt/rt4/var sure, but not the top level.

Every these folder contain *.html with mail message body and attachments
in base64.
Also all this folders has been changed in one day - 30 Dec 2013.
I’m using fetchmail. May be this folders created by rt-mailgate?
