The MSGPURG command allows you to automatically purge old messages from the
system. When you run the command, it will prompt you for a cutoff date, a
cutoff access level, and will let you choose to delete mail, public messages,
or both.
The cutoff date is the date which defines an "old" message. All
messages posted on or before this date are considered for deletion.
The cutoff access level is used to screen out messages from the delete
mail scan. Only users with access levels equal to or less than this number
will have their mail considered for deletion.
Protected public messages are not deleted under any conditions. Public
messages are unprotected by default, but can be protected by using the EDIT
command from the main menu.
The system will warn you before it begins the delete scan. You must
press Y to continue, or N to abort the scan. When completed, the command
will report the number of messages deleted.
