I am trying ipurge out.
Seems a good idea, but does not work even if one mailbox is corrupt.
I have around 2000 mailboxes on a redhat 7.3 machine but now whenever
ipurge encounters the first corrupt mailbox it just exits

Is there a way I can tell ipurge to continue on error  after reporting
the errors

Thanks
Ram
