expunge not removing attachments?
I have a large mail backup folder backup@backup.invalid; I'm cleaning up daily like this:
infimum=date -d "-4 day" +"%Y-%m-%d"
doveadm expunge -u backup@backup.invalid mailbox INBOX SAVEDBEFORE $infimum
doveadm purge -u backup@backup.invalid
yet I see this:
find attachments/ -type f -ctime +5 | wc -l
7522
find attachments/ -type f | wc -l
127579
find attachments/ -type f -mtime +5 | wc -l
14361
find attachments/ -type f | wc -l
127793
About 5.9% of the files in attachments and below are older than 5 days. Why? Is that normal?
using dovecot 2:2.3.1-1 from the official repos.

I retried this today (2:2.3.4.1-1~bionic):
find attachments/ -type f -ctime +5 | wc -l
193121
find attachments/ -type f | wc -l
301885
193121 of 301885 (64%) are older (ctime) than 5 days, although I just purged everything older than 4 days?
/home/copymail# find attachments/ -type f -mtime +5 | wc -l
201629
/home/copymail# find attachments/ -type f | wc -l
301900
201629 of 301900 (66.7%) files are modified (mtime) more than 5 days ago, although I just purged everything older than 4 days?

I had problems with this a few years ago, and resorted to simply using find to remove the files from the file system
/usr/bin/find /usr/local/virtual/*/.Junk*/{cur,new} -type f -mtime +7 -name “*=*" -delete 2> /dev/null /usr/bin/find /usr/local/virtual/*/.Trash/{cur,new} -type f -mtime +7 -name “*=*" -delete 2> /dev/null

I'm not using Maildir. I suspect the SIS is broken somehow.
