Hi everyone,

I've discovered these two in my cyrus imapd logs:

IOERROR: mapping cache file for user.root: Value too large for defined
data type
FATAL: failed to mmap cache file

That mailbox is so full that I can't even open it with IMAP anymore:

* OK smtp Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12 server ready
. login root *******
. select INBOX
* BYE Fatal error: failed to mmap cache file
Connection to localhost closed by foreign host.

Any suggestions on a proper way of cleaning this up?

# du -hks /var/spool/imap/user/root
9.1G

This all happened because mail for postmaster (which we -do- read,
still) turned out to be also sent to root.

The mailserver runs fine for the other users.

Regards, Paul Boven.
