Hi all,

I'm running a mail server with cyrus imap and postfix. I've had a bit

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.
