maybe you can use mysql to change the value? i see a table called dir_control in database vpopmail that ha a column called cur_users. what is interesting though is that 3 of my domains show 0 users when in fact they have users... can anyone advise on that?

I've got a domain on a qmail-toaster (I've tried migrating to qtplus, but the sandbox creation always fails because of the symbolic links and additional mounted filesystems (backup and home are on separate drives)... but that's another story)... The issue is that after running fine for a while, a domain's mysql database gets reasonably well corrupted. At current, if I do a vdominfo on the domain, it shows what I suspect is an error associated with doing signed arithmetic on an unsigned value, or vice-versa. The number of users is being reported as 2147483647 (which is 7FFFFFFF in hex). If I run vuserinfo, all the expected users show just fine, however something in qmail-smtp is reporting that there are no users in the domain (all users are bouncing mail as "no mailbox here by that name") -- so I suspect qmail-smtp is using the # of users value and finds it too large. I've had this problem before, but on much smaller domains. Previously, to resolve this problem, I have backed up the old mailboxes, deleted the entire domain (vdeldomain), deleted ALL of the mysql databases (rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*), re-started mysql (to generate new base databases in /var/lib/mysql), reset the mysql default password, added the vpopmail mysql database, re-added each of the users (plus aliases, forwards, etc.) manually into the vpopmail database, verified correctness, then finally restoring the old mailbox entries. There has to be a better way! (With this particular domain, that'll be an all-day project! Over 150 users!) Surely this mysql database entry that has counted the # of users can be fixed somehow WITHOUT starting from scratch! I'm no database guy, but I am a pretty astute Linux (UNIX) admin... so I'm hoping someone out there with the MYSQL knowhow can lead me in the right direction to fix this ASAP!
