Deleting an Invalid User mailbox

Somehow we ended up with baduser at reyrey.net@reyrey.net, and every attempt to delete it results in an "Invalid User" error from cyradm.  We're running Cyrus 2.3.16-10 on CentOS 5.5 using the Invoca RPMS (thanks Simon), no murder, and have unixhierarchysep set to 1.  One of the admins deleted the user's files and directories from the filesystem before I was aware of the issue.

I hate to bother the list with a relatively trivial issue, but this is causing one of my replication validation tests to fail and I wouldn't want to miss a valid problem because of bogus user.

Thanks in advance,

John
