opendkim-expire(8)

✨ opendkim-expire — the OpenDKIM stats data expiration tool ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to opendkim-expire, section 8 of the System Manager's Manual 💅 this one's a lil system-management icon and she's here to do exactly one job and do it gorgeously.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

opendkim-expire [options]

that's it. no positional args, no drama. just vibes and flags 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so opendkim-expire expires old records from the database that's part of the OpenDKIM statistics feature ✨ that's the whole thing. she goes into your stats DB and clears out the old stuff so it doesn't just sit there accumulating forever like unread messages in a group chat you refuse to open 😭

if you're running the OpenDKIM statistics feature, this is your girl. periodt.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one of them, no skips, no cap:

• --dbhost=host — tries to connect to the database server living on the host you name. the default is "localhost" 🏠
• --dbname=name — requests a connection to the database called name. default is "opendkim" 💖
• --dbpasswd=password — tries to authenticate to the database server with the password you give. default is "opendkim" 🔐
• --dbport=port — tries to connect to the database at the TCP port you specify. default is 3306 🔌
• --dbuser=user — tries to authenticate to the database server as the user you name. default is "opendkim" 🫶
• --expire=days — the number of days of data to keep. default is 180. so like, anything older than that? gone. bye. not invited to the function 💀
• --help — prints a usage message and exits. your little "what do I do" button 🙈
• --verbose — requests verbose output. she'll tell you everything she's doing, main character energy fr fr 🗣️
• --version — prints version number and exits. flexes and leaves ⭐

heads up bestie: that --expire default of 180 means if you just run her with no flags, she's keeping 180 days of stats and yeeting the rest. no cap. 🔥
