I solved this SMTP log cleanup by some other means as I too saw that TCPIP
was not patient enough for log cleanup  by a startup exit.
With the REXX compiler, one can compile an ordinary REXX EXEC into a
MODULE.  The MODULE can be NUXCLOADed as Immediate command.  If my memory
serves me well: I created a solution based on that.  I can have a look at
this next week at my customer's office.
Personally, I find it frustrating that so many servers provided e.g. by IBM
don't come with built-in housekeeping routines/exits.  Every customer has to
reinvent the wheel, not once, but again and again for each server.  My most
recent finding: PERFSVM keeps ever-growing FCXTREND files until the A-disk
gets 100% full and then nothing happens.
