We have also seen skiplist corruption in seen databases. I don't have a
|
|
recovery tool, but I have been able to manually recover seen db's to the
|
|
point of corruption so that at least most of the users mails are in the
|
|
correct 'read' state. Typically, you will see errors like:
|
|
|
|
DBERROR: skiplist recovery /usr/local/imap/user/k/kdelaney.seen: 0D2C
|
|
should be ADD or DELETE
|
|
|
|
If you truncate the file at this point, it should fix the problem, and
|
|
the users mail read state will be valid upto the point of corruption.
|
|
To do this, convert the hex to decimal (above would be 1372) and use the
|
|
dd command:
|
|
|
|
dd if=kdelaney.seen of=kdelaney.seen.fixed bs=1 count=1372
|
|
|
|
replace the corrupted .seen file with the fixed one and have user log in
|
|
and should be ok.

Seems to work on the couple I have tried it on.
