I suspect that the 11 users in question managed to create an orphaned directory in the filesystem, either by: > > This happens when you delete a mailbox which has subsidiary mailboxes > > and then later come back and delete the subsidiary mailboxes. or by creating a mailbox a few levels down in the hierarchy. This can leave directories in the filesystem which aren't accounted for by the mboxlist. e.g: user.dpc22.foo.bar would leave a stray directory "foo". -- David Carter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Computing Service, Phone: (01223) 334502 New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Fax: (01223) 334679 Cambridge UK.
