[bit.listserv.novell] network courier problem?

CC13@SDSUMUS.BITNET (Phil Haskett) (01/12/90)

Hi, all...

Are any Network Courier users experiencing a problem where Courier
does not delete mail items?  I am not sure at this point if the
problem is in Network Courier Mail, Monitor, or Admin programs, but
an NDIR of the mail directory definitely shows mail items over 30
days old after I used Admin to delete these mail items.

Anybody know what's going on?

A question was asked concerning whether Network Courier had a problem
with deleting mail items.

Version 1.x DID have a problem with this and Consumers Software released
a utility (upon request) that cleaned things up.  As far as I know,
version 2.0c does not; if it does, I don't believe that Chris Mah and
crew have finished the re-write of the utility (used to scan the mail
files and databases for integrity).

I believe the problem (as they attributed it) may have been due the use
of the Admin program to delete mail (in mass) while users were on the system
at the same time.
