Bug#254394: O: barrendero -- delete messages on the spool dir depending on their age
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of barrendero, Eduardo Diaz Comellas
<ediaz@tsc.uvigo.es>, is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I
orphan this package now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please
take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for
detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: delete messages on the spool dir depending on their age
Barrendero is intended to limit the disk space wasted in the spool
directory. It deletes mail messages depending on their age, and has
the ability to send warnings and reports to the users, to make full
and partial backups, and to have different allowed ages on a per-user
basis.
.
Warning and report messages are customizable and can be translated easily
in order to make this package useful in any environment.
.
This way of handling mail has an advantage over the traditional 'quota'
system: quotas make the end user lose new mail, whereas barrendero deletes
old mail, so that new mail is always available.
