Problem with mailserver after crash...

Some days ago our Directory and mailserver crashed (on the same computer). We had to reindex our directory and after some work all seemed to be up and going. There is one problem still left that needs a solution. The autoreply feature logs errors and doesn磘 work.

There are logfiles called autoreply_master......etc and the only information in these log files are the following:

23:12:31.55: General database corruption detected

I really could need some suggestions on what to do with this.

That is, how to get the autoreply (vacation messages) working again.

We are running IMS 5.2 and all patches.

your autoreply database is broken

look for "autoreply.db" somewhere in your MTA. It's been too long since I had a 5.2 box, and 6.2 no longer does autoreply the same way.

remove the file, restart the mta, and you should be fine.

The database simply keeps track of when the last autoreply was sent for each account.

Well, I havn磘 been able to find the "autoreply.db" but following another forum thread it seems to be a database called profiledb that is the database for the autoreply feature.

Is it safe to just remove this or should I stop the mailserver and run "imsimta clerandb" as is suggested in this other thread?

Could imsimta cleandb fix the problem as well?

I would do both.......cleandb removes db locks, not broken databases.

I did this and it worked. A new databasefile was created and after running imsimta dbclean a couple of old lock-files were removed and the vacation messages were starting to show up in the mailboxes.ThanksBNs
