I made a copy of my spool folder and ran that same command ... and got the same results you did. I then issued the following command: isplcln -n 5 -l 0 and got the desired results. It didn't touch any log files. Interesting.

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... jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Len Conrad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 6:24 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] isplcln.exe question... > > >I sent this question to ipswitch's support and they told me that if i did > >not want to delete log files to just leave the -l switch off... so i ran it > >like this isplcln -n 5, expecting that all non-log files older than 5 days > >would be deleted... guess what happened?
