Run a scanner as a part of your MTA, and don't let the messages get delivered to cyrus in the first place. Programs such as mimedefang provide ways to do this. > Btw, I would think cyrus should be able to handle the simple case of a > missing single file.

Why is it any different from a database? Just because the mailstore is spread between multiple files and an index doesn't mean that one part can be tossed away needlessly. A mailstore is just that... a database. If you deleted the data file for a mysql database, but left the index file around, would you expect it to still work perfectly? -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
