Wouldn't it be better to just delete the files in Maildir/new or 
Maildir/cur?

[vchkpw] Safely Remove And Replace Postmaster Accounts?

2005-06-23 Thread buffalo
Greetings,

I've got several Vdomains where for whatever reason, postmaster account
quotas were bypassed and now postmaster inboxes are over 1 gig.

Is it possible to safely nuke these accounts and immediately recreate 
them to clear their inboxes out?

TIA,

--Duncan

You may just want to go ahead and create .qmail-postmaster file with
a single hash mark ('#') in it.  This will allow the postmaster account
to exist, and thus be usable via qmailadmin, etc, while not collecting
mail.

Yes, however, you might want to double check postmaster settings
before going and re-creating the account.  Some of these settings
carry over to new users, and if you use that functionality, you'll
want to be sure new users get the same settings as users who were
added before the re-creation.
