    Do you have a full backup of your server...?

    Be careful what you delete! Fortunately for you, there is an easy fix this time...

    This command will rebuild your entire vmail folder:

    /scripts/updateuserdomains

    I ran /scripts/updateuserdomains and got the following error:

    touch: creating `etc/secondarymx': No such file or directory
    touch: creating `etc/secondarymx': No such file or directory
    root@secure [/scripts]#

    There is a file called /etc/secondarymx which is empty. I tried moving it out of etc to let the script create it, but it did not, so I moved it back.

    I got the same error in all cases.

    Any help out there?

    Not to be snarky, but is vmail the only thing you removed ?

    Seriously, if you did some kind of wildcard removal or anything other than specifically killing the vmail subdirectory you might be seeing an error due to another missing file or folder.

    updateuserdomains needs other files to work properly so something might be missing.
