Hi Bron, Thanks for the heads up. Does that mean I should invoke reconstruct on all the mailboxes whose permissions I've changed in this way in order to bring the backup ACLs back in line with the mailboxes.db changes? Also is there any reason why cyradm couldn't be modified to accept wildcards for uids in order to remove all of them? It strikes me that this is almost a bug given that I can sam an entire mailbox hierarchy but not do the same with dam.
