    So I have turned on the setting in WHM (Server Configuration > Mailserver Configuration) Auto Expunging to remove messages older than 60 days. However, at what point does this script run? Does it run daily at a set time?

    Thanks

    It runs during cPanel's daily update, so you can check the update log for:

    Code:
    Processing: Cleaning up mailbox trash
Processing command `/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/dovecot_auto_expunge_trash`
    with specific details below those lines.

    Thanks could you give me some guidance as to where/how I check the daily update logs?
    Thanks.

    Hello :)

    cPanel update logs are stored in the following directory:

    Code:
    /var/cpanel/updatelogs/
    Keep in mind the option you are referring to does not remove messages older than the configured time frame. It removes messages after they have been in the trash folder for that set time frame.

    Thank you.
