Yes, there is. But, it's probably better to train them to use it properly, 
and make sure you can do restores when necessary. You should also take a 
look at the client software that they're using to see whether that's 
causing a problem.

We have 15,000 users, and perhaps two or three restore requests a week. At 
that rate, you'd be seeing a request every five or ten years.

Anyway, if your users really are too dumb to learn (tell me that's 10 users 
out of hundreds, not 10 out of 10!), then you can set fine grained 
permissions on mailboxes using cyradm, using 'lam' and 'sam'. Read the man 
page for cyradm. <http://linux.die.net/man/1/cyradm>

Or, create a service description that gives you - say - a week to handle a 
restore request. That'll learn 'em.
