Not so fast, sales droid!   (:

There is a data area you can create which will purge a -single- nasty
message from  QMSF's domain.

There are similar data areas for QDIA and SMTP.

When we've had problems, it's possible to delete single messages until the
one clogging the system is gone.  Once everything stays up and running, we
shut everything down and do a 'clear all' restart, just to help the
programs stay running.

I don't want to list the data areas here, because I'll probably forget some
important detail and end up wiping out your system directory.    (8   IBM
Service is your best point of contact.
