- Try setting your conference configuration for the number of messages to keep
- and number of days to keep messages for in each conference
-
- Or set the global configuration / database options msgs to keep and days to
- keep
-
- eg: msgs to keep 0
- days to keep 0
-
- This would mean that if you Pack/Purge Msgs it should delete the lot make
- sure you have read them first
-
- Hope this is of some help
