are these error messages severe? and how to fix them?

[mahecha at jsums.edu]

Thanks, all for your responses....
I still have some questions,
though:

1. under what conditions will cyrus delete or
"hide" messages from the users' (and admins) sight.... if it
does it at all?

2. Ihave been running this cyrus for about 2
yrs now, and never done any maintenance; does cyrus takes care of its own?
if not, what is suggested? I do backups every night, export the db to a
txt files, etc. but nothing else...


Thanks, again
