Correct, chk_cyrus just tells you what is wrong. However, be careful 
running reconstruct on what it finds (check dates on messages that 
reconstruct would add back in). I ran reconstruct on all the mailboxes 
that cyrus_chk found problems with and some of my users were a little 
confused when e-mail that was "missing" for over 2 years suddenly showed 
up in their InBoxes. :-)
