Was doing some expirements with the mailing list so I can learn how to teach our email clients how to use it, and I went to delete one of my test email mailing lists, and it bugged out and deleted the entire folder structure for our domain (the domain housing the list, didn't touch the others).
 
This cause 2 main problems.. 1, well, the entire folder tree just gone.. 2, the mysql side of the data still existed, so vpopmail still thought the users were there and was trying to accept mail for them. (Thankfully it bounced nicely).
 
Any idea how to fix and prevent this? is it just a rm -rf call that was unintended?
 
Thanks to Jake Vickers wonderful back up script, I was able to go to midnight's tar files and extract just that domain to copy back over. Thanks Jake :)
