As one of five orphan children, up from Missouri, I can tell you, "KILL THE ORPHANS."  We get that every so often and we just kill them all and let the bit bucket sort them out.  Sure you'll feel bad later, probably need years of therapy, but that's later, for now just kill them all and keep your new users happy.       Seriously, we do just that.  If you use the Find Orphans to locate the orphaned directories and then Delete All, it's OK.    Kevin Childers  ,,,,, ����}   ~' Customer Support Desk (910) 486-7845 / (888) 228-0312 Fayetteville Internet Communications APCNet - FayNet - NetQuick - QuickWAN The Carolinas' Fastest Internet Communications Provider ----- Original Message ----- From: Kris McElroy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 1:11 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Adduser/Orphans We are using Imail 6.06 with RODOPI Billing Software.  We use the Registry for storing user accounts.  The problem we are having is this:  When a user signs up say [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rodopi will FTP this script to the server (C:\Imail\adduser -h domain.com -u john.doe -n "" -P pass).  Which works all fine and dandy.  Now say john.doe wants to cancel his email account.  Rodopi will FTP this script to the server (C:\Imail\adduser -kill -u john.doe -h domain.com).  Now the problem is that lets say that he had email in his account and another person came along and wanted to signup for Email Access and the oddly picked the username john.doe?  So now when the script is FTP'd do the Imail Server it puts the new information in, but keeps the OLD john.doe directory structure, hence he gets email that was in the directory.  Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this with the command line interface?  We have some domains that have 300+ orphan accounts.       Thanks,     Kris McElroy [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Internet Systems Engineer Duracom, INC. www.duracom.net
