Hello all,
Something strange has just happened. A user has just lost all his
mails, over 32MB of them!!! When I check /var/spool/mail/username, I
find that only 12k is left. I am sure he didn't delete them because he
needs all of them, what do you think happened? Is there a chance of
retrieving any?
System: SuSE Linux 7.2, kernel 2.4.4-4GB, 40GB Hard disk and 512 RAM.
Neomail is the MUA.
