# rt-clean-attributes-5(8)

clean obsolete RT attributes

## NAME

rt-clean-attributes - clean obsolete RT attributes

## SYNOPSIS

```
     rt-clean-attributes
     rt-clean-attributes --older 1M
```

## DESCRIPTION

This script deletes obsolete `"DeferredRecipients"` attributes.

`"DeferredRecipients"` attributes are used by rt-email-digest to store email to be sent at a later time, either daily or weekly. Since rt-email-digest processes transactions created at most one week in the past, it's safe to delete `"DeferredRecipients"` attributes older than one week since they will never be accessed.

## OPTIONS

- "--older"

  Date interval in the `"<NUM>[<unit>]"` format. Default unit is D(ays), H(our), M(onth) and Y(ear) are also supported.

- "--verbose"

  Show additional output on the command line when running.
