I feel the same. MPFLIST was always my preferred method. You can
suppress or pass messages into the Netview Subsystem Interface if you
want to...or just use MPF vanilla....

I agree with this basic viewpoint, but a small and WELL DOCUMENTED set
of exits can be highly useful in the overall scheme of message
management. Mr. Price's exits can be a highly useful adjunct for this
whole process. Yes, change management should be involved, but so should
operations staff and management. And, as always, audit requirements need
to be observed. That's why I choose to delete messages ONLY from active
consoles. In my shop, SYSLOG was considered a legal document and any
interference with logging was considered a "terminal" offense. (Dept. of
