Humm... Ok, then I guess the time for panic is now. Are you saying that I likely have a lot of orphaned message blocks that dbmail-util isn't finding?
How might I find these so I can remove them from my database. I'm assuming a large join of non-existant mailboxes, and then finding which messages are attached to those. -- David A.

David, You're reading this the wrong way. The statement above says that if you delete a physmessage all associated messages are deleted. Deleting messages does *not* affect related physmessages. > > > Since the dbmail_messages keys to the dbmail_mailboxes, and to > dbmail_physmessages (same with dbmail_messageblks), I believe that it > will cascade all the way down.

Because it turns out dbmail-util does not check for them properly; contrary to my earlier statement. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens paul at nfg.nl NET FACILITIES GROUP GPG/PGP: 1024D/11F8CD31 The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl _______________________________________________ Dbmail mailing list Dbmail@dbmail.org https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
