Vacation Message using old/incorrect data

I have a mail server that refuses to accept a new vacation message. The problem is worse than that because it is sending out a vacation message from over a year ago that had been disabled, even though it shows as disabled in the web interface.


Here is what I tried to do to clear things up.


* Turn off email and web server.

* Remove all scripts from /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts/

* Remove all scripts and vacationIndex.db from /Library/Emailrules/

* Turn on email and web server.


When I return to the user's vacationnotice wiki page it shows the old outgoing email rule. I cannot find where this old rule is stored. When I apply the new rule when a user sends a message to the account they initially receive two vacation replys, the correct one and the 'old' incorrect one as well. Subsequent test messages get a reply of the 'old' message repeatedly, while the new one is properly 'muted' until the following day.


Does anyone know what I'm missing and how to find this zombie message?


Thanks in advance.
