Quoting Tim Champ <champ@xxxxxxxx>:
Hello all. We've setup a new cyrus backend server with 2.3.15. (as a part of our cyrus mail setup here) Our current version is a patched up 2.3.8. When we xfer users from an "old" backend server to another "old" server and then reconstruct, we have no problems. It works as we'd expect - purges expunged mails, etc. When we do this from an "old" backend server to the "new" one, it always sees the expunge file as not valid. The message: "Unable to verify header - deleting: $MAILBOX_PATH/cyrus.expunge"
using xfer you don't need to run reconstruct. But it should not harm.
The access to the mailbox, etc, all seems to work fine, except that any mail that was previously deleted and not removed via cyr_expire (we do delayed delete) returns to the mailbox. This concerns us as we're not sure why it wouldn't understand the expunge files.
reconstruct has a new option -k, to keep delayed delete mails.
Although we could not reconstruct post-move (we've done it for cleanup purposes historically), it worries us that we'd place this version of cyrus on an existing mail server and have this issue the first time a reconstruct was needed. (undead mail, as we've termed it) Any ideas? Still doing testing and trying things, but at a loss right now. If more information is needed, I'm happy to provide it. We've googled around, and searched the mail archives, read documenation, but to no avail. Thanks!
