A corrupt mailbox , usually means a messy administration I agree.Ramprasad A Padmanabhan wrote: > I am trying ipurge out. > Seems a good idea, but does not work even if one mailbox is corrupt. A better question might be why you have corrupt mailboxes. I don't run a particularly large server, but I haven't run into mailbox corruption that hasn't been my fault (manually deleting a message when first learning about Cyrus). It seems odd for mailbox corruption to be a sufficiently common thing on your server that it makes a scheduled ipurge run impractical. Any idea what is causing the corruption? Craig Ringer
But what happens if you get corrupt mailboxes because in the dead of the night the partition run out of disk space
or because there is some one accessing using pop over a very slow link which breaks off every now and then
Now the point is I have corrupt mailboxes , users arent complaining because they are not using ( mostly )
Now what do I do ?
I am thinking of running ipurge as a pipe process in a perl script and catch the output. If it has quit anywhere in the middle reconstruct the mailbox and start again
Now the point is How do I tell ipurge to start from where I left out.
Running a different ipurge for every user is ruled out , that is too slow for my box.
I am thinking of a hack in the ipurge source with another commandline option
something like
ipurge -f -d 30 --skipuntil 'user/someuser'
Is that feasible
Thanks
Ram
