i have a list of users that I’ve removed from LDAP and I want to delete their mail storage.

sdbox Dovecot 2.2.15.8

I have mail messages in one location and indexes in another. Should I just rm -rf /messages/<username> rm -rf /indexes/<username>

Thanks, JK

Thank you, sir. Sounds easy enough. To complicate issues, I have two-way dsync running between two servers. Since the index log files are used to track deleted mails (yes?), do I need to worry about replication trying to bring things back?

Can I just rm the users files from each server and be OK?

Thanks again, JK

You've wrote: "users that I’ve removed from LDAP". Do you find any log entries of those users generated by dsync? Well, provided you have logs from dsync at all.

That depends on how you invoke dsync.
