Howie would know for sure. I would doubt that the auto clean up would delete files that could still be in use or intended to be used. I have never run into any issues with the auto clean up.
With a post log as large as 150mb, even with protocol logging on, I would assume that a ton of e-mail went out. Is there anyway you can scan that log? -----Original Message----- From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 27, 2003 9:53 PM To: inFusion Support List Subject: RE: [iMS] The aftermath Hmm, I think I may know what happened to my email. I think I screwed the post server settings. I set the auto queue clean up to 2 Hours. Would this have a bad effect? I also set max delivery time 1 hour and the retry interval to 45 minutes. My plan was that the email would be attempted only once with these settings. BUT, is it possible the email files were being deleted before they were ever sent???
