[xmail] Problem on Windows 2000 with files inside the dnscache dir

2009-08-14 Thread Stefano Pascucci
Hi All
I'm experiencing some problems with files stored inside the DNSCACHE 
dir structure.
I have used the 1.25 version up to the end of july, and now I'm 
running the 1.26: I presume that the problem I'm going to explain was 
existing also in the previous version, because this is not the first 
time I have found corrupted files in that dir.

And now the question.

I was trying to backup the disk containing the Mailroot disk (a 
dedicate partition); looking inside the dnscache dir, I have found 
more than 400.000 file, all large less then 1kb.So, to speed up the 
backup process, I have renamed dnscache in *.old, replaced the 
original one with a fresh structure taken from the xmailserver zip 
file, and executed the backup
But when I have tried do delete the *.old dir from the del windows 
command, i had back errors and the del command was aborted.
I have also tried to delete files from the command shell, but I 
received this error report:


mx\11\nul.org - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\14\nul.net - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\19\nul.com - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\23\com4.cz - The system cannot find the file specified.
mx\28\con.com - The system cannot find the file specified.
mx\30\prn.pl - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\31\aux.fi - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\34\com6.fr - The system cannot find the file specified.
mx\36\aux.at - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\44\con.ru - The system cannot find the file specified.
mx\5\aux.se - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\52\prn.fr - The parameter is incorrect.
mx\53\con.hu - The system cannot find the file specified.

Could someone tell me if it's a win problem, or if it may be related 
to some kinds of xmail normal/interrupted/aborted operations?? can it 
be related to unexpected server shutdown (ie, hardware reboot..)? 
The reply is not urgent, but I would solve it and avoid to reformat 
the disk each time it happen again :-)
Thank you all in advance

You must use this format:
del \\?\c:\mailroot\dnscache\mx\19\nul.com

From Command prompt or Explorer cann't be deleted files which have in name 
some system reserved words like com, null, prn, aux, con, etc.
