Thanks Dave. I set up the isplcln utility just a little bit ago. However, a lot of those .gse files were from today! So even if I had it set up on a daily basis, there are still several thousand postmaster messages in there from today that wouldn't get deleted until tomorrow. If that's not a problem then I'm set.
Do you just archive your log files manually, or do you have a script that you use?

Call it nightly as follows: isplcln -n 1 -l 5 -n refers to the age of the files to delete. This applies to all but log files. -l refers to the age of the log files to delete. In both cases, the number says how old they fiels should be days. So my command line deletes all surplus files over one day old, and all log fuiles over 5 days old. I zip my log files and place them in an archive directory anyway, so the log part is pretty much immaterial on my system. -d ----- Original Message ----- From: "Todd Richards" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 17, 2006 3:28 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Spool size > Going through the spool folder I found that there were 22,000 ".gse" files > (which I see are generated by the postmaster).
