I am including text from a previous thread:

Do you mean to say the "frozdel" command of the CtrlClnt shoud not be used?
Or does it take care of the slog files as well?

Thanks,
Hamid.

time ago i made a shell script ( unix ) to purge the frozen messages but
obviously i lost it :-) ( i'll try to find it ... )
you cannot only remove frozen messages because you will leave slog files
around and you cannot remove all slog files because some of them might be
owned by valid messages still pending.

Presently I have a large number of undeliverable messages on my server
living out the rest of their undeliverable life and letting me know that
they couldn't be delivered, but that they will try more times, etc.

I want to purge all of these messages. What would be the most appropriate
way of doing this? I have thought about the possibility of temporarily
setting the number of send retries to zero, which I believe is in the
server.tab(?). Will this work? Is there a better or more proper way?

Thank you,

JayD
