It would be useful to automatically assign this to any mailbox that your system creates, assuming your mailboxes and such are created as part of some scripted user-creation system (like a web app or something). Also, for the heck of it, have a periodic script, once every hour or so, that does the equivalent of "sam * cyrus c", so any mailbox on your mail server can be successfully deleted by this script.

Trying to script deleting a user's mailbox from system...

Try something like this instead:
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin;
$imap = Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new("servername") or die "Failed to connect"; $imap->authenticate("-user" => "username", "-password" => "password", "-mechanism" => "LOGIN") or die "Failed to authenticate"; $imap->delete("user.mailbox") or die "Failed to delete mailbox";
See man pages for Cyrus::IMAP::Admin and Cyrus::IMAP for more details.
---- OK - I think I can deal with this but...
#cyradm localhost IMAP Password: <localhost.localdomain> lm user.public user.public (\HasNoChildren)
and # ./ldap_useradmin.deluser Failed to delete mailbox at ./ldap_useradmin.deluser line 11.
#cat ldap_useradmin.deluser #! /usr/bin/perl -w
use Cyrus::IMAP::Admin;
$imap = Cyrus::IMAP::Admin->new("localhost") or die "Failed to connect"; $imap->authenticate("-user" => "cyrus", "-password" => "MY_PASS", "-mechanism" => "LOGIN") or die "Failed to authenticate"; $imap->delete("user.public") or die "Failed to delete mailbox";
means we died and didn't delete the mailbox.
as you can see from cyradm, the mailbox is indeed there and called
'user.public'
so this defies my ability to discern what is going on
and lastly, since this is perl and I'm a lost duck, is there a way to direct standard and error out on this to a file? I love to have a means to keep track of what happened when I call from another process and don't have a terminal to work with.
Thanks
Craig
