What configuration are you running? (e.g. qmail+vpopmail + courierimap) In the setup that I am running each message is stored as a seperate file within the mail box setup.
I have the following directory structure /home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/cur /home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/new /home/vpopmail/domains/sampledomain.com/username/Maildir/tmp Within the new directory is a list of the emails. -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 4863 Apr 8 16:01 1081465307.22178.mail.sample domain.com,S=4798 -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 5088 Apr 8 16:04 1081465462.22278.mail.sample domain.com,S=5023 So for the configuration that I am running it does work. If you let me know about yours, there may be a easy way also, or maybe not. -Lloyd > If I use the --remove flag, it removes the whole mailbox file, not just > the infected message.
