If you can, I'd stop the master and then run db_verify on deliver.db. I
wouldn't be surprised to see it fail.

When I encountered deliver.db corruption, I simply stopped the master,
verified the deliver db (it was corrupt), moved deliver.db and the
contents of the db/ directory out of the way, and started the master
again. At worst, we'd have a few messages not hardlinked in the spool
that should be, and possibly "vacation" messages re-sent (but we don't
use that, so it wasn't an issue).

I'd also take this opportunity to save a plaintext copy of the mailboxes
list with 'ctl_mboxlist -d > /var/imap/mailboxes_`date -I`.txt' (or
similar).
