Is there a way to delete a specific message from QSYSOPR ?

I have an application that monitors QSYSOPR for a certain condition (the
failure of our fax server) and then emails certain folks if there is a
problem. This scheduled through Robot and runs every 15 minutes. Problem is,
if it fails during the night, the first email alert is sent and then every
15 minutes it finds the same, unanswered or deleted, error message on
QSYSOPR and sends another one. I did have this checking every 5 minutes and
that yielded a TON of emails. We know that the problem is, network
congestion and it times out (we are working on this) and the server attempts
to reboot and reload itself. This doesn't happen a lot, but I would like to
be able to delete the one message since folks that are responsible for this
get an email and should act on it during normal hours or will get to it when
they get the email in the morning.

 

Thanks !
