using cyrus that are running virus scanning software on the server?
Btw, I would think cyrus should be able to handle the simple case of a missingHow far should the server go assuming it knows the reason why some unexpected condition exists? Should it happily ignore a missing /etc/cyrus.conf and assume default settings? Should it assume /var/imap ran out of disk space because there were log files it should silently clean up for you?
single file. I should be able to delete a message for which the message file
is already missing. We're not talking about a complex database file structure
here. It's a single file with a single message.
I imagine it wouldn't be very difficult to hack the source so that whenever it tried to open a message file that didn't exist, it could create a message that says it was removed by virus scanning and then open that file, but that would have to be something you want to run -- I wouldn't want that in the version I was running and I doubt such a hack would get accepted into the codebase.
