Similar topic, different question....

I went through the /scripts folder and notice that there is a script to restoremail. My question, where is the script that would allow me to only backup the email accounts?

My problem is that I have a domain I host and the email addresses result in the message being returned indicating that the local delivery failed and that it is a permanent error.

From what I have been told, the only remedy is to remove and recreate the accounts in question. I cannot get ahold of everyone and thought it best to backup the email for those accounts (or all), blow away the accounts, recreate them, then restore the email.

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried the only other thing I know, which is to backup the entire domain account. I blew the domain away, recreated the account and restored the date in the cpmove file, but have the same problems.

If you can help with backing up the email OR tell me how to resolve this issue, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

THANK YOU
