Hi! The purpose of the delayed expunge mode appears to be to reduce the amount of disk I/O during expunge and add responsiveness to the client. But I've been thinking... I've got lots of users that accidentally delete important messages, and sometimes even ask us immediately after deleting (and expunging) those messages if they could be recovered. Now if the message was alive last night when we backed the system up, it could be recovered. But if the message was new, it couldn't. But if there is a delay in expunging the message, the file containing the mesage might just lie around in the mail spool, and could be identified reasonably easily. Is there a way to add the message back to the index? A quick hack would probably be something like copying the message file to N., where N is an unused message number, and reconstructing the mailbox. But is there another way? I always feel uncomfortable writing stuff to the mailspool bypassing Cyrus.
You can use the unexpunge tool to put mail back into the mail folder. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rudy Gevaert Rudy.Gevaert@xxxxxxxx tel:+32 9 264 4734 Directie ICT, afd.
