Deleting / Removing users

[John Krug]

Thank you, sir. Sounds easy enough.
To complicate issues, I have two-way dsync running between two servers.  Since the index log files are used to track deleted mails (yes?), do I need to worry about replication trying to bring things back? 

Can I just rm the users files from each server and be OK?

Thanks again,
JK
