rm'd the account instead of dm

[Michael Loftis]

reconstruct/cyrreconstruct.....if you rm or rm -rf a mailbox you need to 
recreate the tree manually (mkdir) ctl_mboxlist -d |grep user.blah to find 
all their mailboxes, once you've crecreated them int eh foilesystem with 
the right permissions you can use reconstruct to reconstruct the cyrus.* 
files.

the best thing is to not let incompetent people onto the server in the 
first place ;)
