Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20629
Expiration Mechanism for mailing lists
Last modified: 2009-07-12 19:00:08 UTC
I think an expiration mechanism for mailing lists would be a good idea. Messages could be deleted after x days. Helpful configuration options would be - Domain wide default - Patterns for lists to cover notification lists like cvs@* , issues@* - Per single list Greetings, Stefan

Have filed an internal Request for the feature Will update the Response as soon as the Engineers post one -Mohan
St, Having filed an internal query. It would be great if you could give the business need & how it would help your process. I will add this to the Engineers update which will help them decide the time frame Thanks mohan
Even the most valuable data is outdated after some time :-) This enhancement request came up during a discussion about indexing for search, disk space constraints and performance issues. An expiration mechanism would help to reduce the size of mailing list archives - esp. those for notification lists like cvs@<project> or issues@<projects>.
St Thanks for the Info. I have posted you comments internally. Will update the Engineer's Response As & when it comes -Mohan
The Feature has been considered for the Release Diablo Plan : Support Will Continue monitor the request & Review in corresponding release Next Update : Will be provided when change occurs -Mohan
Marking TM as consid-future. Sorry for the SPAM.
reopening the issue for follow-up
The new Discussion Service provides a facility to hard/soft delete mailing list/discussion forum which would be helpful in archiving the requirements as mentioned by Stefan in desc5 . Moving this issue to the resolved later queue .
Updating milestone
.
Discussions which replace mailing lists in CEE 5.0 allows bulk deletion of messages in a particular thread. This may help issues@ discussion in a way that all messages for a particular issue can be bulk deleted in one go. This is one step ahead of the current mailing list feature which allows only a message-by-message deletion of mails. However, the expiration mechanism requested in this issue is being considered to be implemented in a future release. Regards, Karishma CollabNet Support
CollabNet Support is currently reviewing the issues under Resolved-Later. If the issues are fixed currently in any of the present CEE releases, then it will be marked as Resolved-Fixed. There might be a few issues which might not be in our future roadmap which might be closed as Wontfix unless it does not lie under any custom request.
Keeping it open for validation
We are planning to add a new page that would allow an admin to select a range of dates and soft or hard delete all messages that fall in that range. Something like "the last N months". Or "messages received between START_DATE and END_DATE". This most likely will be implemented in CEE 5.3
However this will be fixed in Discussions.
A manual bulk deletion with flexible criteria might be useful. But this issue is about automatic expiration (read deletion) of messages without manual interaction.
It is marked as CEE Consid-future for automatic expiration
A manual bulk deletion with flexible criteria has been introduced & implemented in CEE 5.3. However, we are not planning for automatic expiration (read deletion) of messages without manual interaction. Hence marking it as Wontfix Regards, Ramya Support Operations
wontfix -> closed
