Subject: Re: [plug] How to Delete Emails in Sendmail
Is there something in the configuration file that would instruct Sendmail not to receive mails with large attachments?
Or, are you using a filtering application ( e.g., MailScanner) that you can configure to reject mails larger than a specified size?
If you can tweak any of the two above, then you don't have to manually delete large mails. :)

Hi to all, This is to ask you how to manually delete
emails in sendmail. What I do for now is to reset the
mail file by using this command in mail directory:
>username, I do this sometimes in order for the user
to retreive their email using dial up. But this will
clear all received emails. Is there any other way that
will only delete incoming mails that has big
attachement that causing bottleneck when retrieving
via dial up?
Thanks,
