Peter,

While I know little about the SMTP environment, I can tell you that you can
create a CL program from the command and place an entry into the job
scheduler to run it. When the best time is to do this or if in fact that is
what you need to do will need to come from someone that knows more about
SMTP than I,

Subject: Mail cleanup process on AS400


Hi list:

I have read that in order to clean up mangled mail in the IBM SMTP
environment,
I need to create a data area like this:

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTMSCLEAN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('C') AUT(*ALL)

Then, I have to stop and restart the SMTP server using the ENDTCPSVR and
STRTCPSVR command. To clean up mangled mail in the MSF area you need to stop
MSF
(ENDMSF command) then use the *CLEAR option on when starting it:

   STRMSF OPTION(*CLEAR)

Is it possible to do this automatically? If so, when is the best
time/conditions
to be able to run this?  Is it good to include these steps as part of the
IPL
process?  Should we do it daily as part of the backup process?

You opinion is highly appreciated.
