SSH Commands for......

[qxh]

Could someone please tell me the SSH command to delete an email account?

Thanks,
Scott. :cool:

OK, I've been told to CD into the mailbox and delete it. Could someone explain that please?

Depends how you set them up in the first place.

If you want to go into the default Linux mail directory then try 'cd /var/spool/mail'

Don't delerte an email account from the command line. This could mess things up rather seriously. Use the web management tools provided to you to do this.

Deleting from /var/spool/mail is advisable only to eliminate the mail spool, not the mail account itself (which is usually set up administratively). That being said, it's a great way to get rid of large mailnames that are holding up a lot of data - and works well with sendmail. Qmail, supposedly, has problems if you manually delete its spool.

We're having problems with the email accounts, even recreating them they are not receiving nor sending messages, though all other accounts on the server are ok.

This sounds like a server issue. What accounts are you talking about?

It's okay now thanks Steve, turned out to be a permissions problem with the account, still waiting for subdomains to fuction correctly now again as I accidentally changed the IP address.
