Hi all,
I'm running a mail server with cyrus imap and postfix. I've had a bit
of a disaster where a runaway process, not related to email, filled
my root directory. I've take care of that and got most of the space
back but now I'm not receiving email and maillog is reporting this:

I've had to reconstruct mail boxes before but nothing like this! Any
idea how to repair this mess? I'm running CentOS 6.
1. Stop Cyrus
2. Delete /var/lib/imap/deliver.db
3. Delete the contents of /var/lib/imap/db/
4. Start Cyrus
deliver.db contains (mainly) transient data about messages. If you
delete it, you may get a repeated message from anyone using a vacation
responder, but otherwise there are no negative consequences.
