Re: Deleting spool files by date

[brobins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Philip,

I developed a utility for in-house use to do just this.  Contact me privately if
you would like it.

There is one utility for deleting entries more than n-days old.  And one for
moving entries between outq's.  Specify which one(s) you would like.
