For some reason, at my hosted server some mailboxes have ended up with
the wrong ownership. (It seems to be where the user has been deleted;
their files have been allocated to a different user, which seems odd.)
This has caused problems with users finding their quota has been used up
even though their mailbox is empty.
Anyway, I have a lot of mailboxes and I want to write a script which
will list all the mailboxes not owned by their correct owner. They're
all in /var/spool/mail, and should all have a filename that matches the
name of the user that owns (or should own) that mailbox. Eg "ls -la" shows:
-rw-rw---- 1 markroge admin 1234 Fen 28 12:01 markrogers
-rw-rw---- 1 markroge admin 4321 Fen 28 12:01 someoneelse
(I made up those mailboxes, by the way)
Note that ls truncates the user name to 8 chars - most of my mailboxes
are >8 chars.
So, suggestions for a script that would list all files which are not
correctly owned, like the second file in the above example?
[If anyone has suggestions as to how this happened I'm also interested
in that, of-course, although I'm taking that up with the hosting company.]
