scripted delete mailbox for cyradm

[John Wade]

We use something like this,   Note that I hacked this out of a larger
script, that does some site specific things so there is no guarantee that
this actually runs or that it includes all the error checking you would
want, but it should give you the idea.   Also I don't think you need to
iterate through the sub mailboxes at this point to delete them, but we never
removed it from the script and it means you get a nice listing as it
goes.    I also won't claim this is beautiful perl.

Hope it helps,
John
