ok, fine... but what happened? I ran "isplcln -n 5" from the imail directory and it not only deleted a bunch of old spool files, it also deleted the last 19 days of log files. I asked the ipswitch tech people if doing this exact command would leave the log files and they told me it would, so i ran it... now the files are gone. granted, i should have tested first... and i have backups of all but todays, but i think that there is either a problem with this program or with the tech support. I would just like to know where the problem is so that i can use this program to delete old spool files...
