When we bring the master back up we make sure cyrus is turned off. Then we do a full mailstore diff on the original master and the silent replica. This will give us a list of the email that was not propagated when the master went down. This diff should be showing us the email that is not on the current mail server based on the assumption that the two replicas were being updated at the same time. Then we just find a way to send over that email and we should be all set.
If the original master is recoverable, shouldn't it have the list of what has not yet been propagated? Why not simply apply these logs? Are you worried about the logs causing mail to be deleted from the replica?
This is technically easier than trying to reconstruct from the logs what was not propagated, especially since I've found the log files to be not very informative even in verbose mode.
Fixing the logs to easily show what's been propagated seems trackable. :wes ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
