It is best to remove the data/heldmsg-* files with bin/discard as this will also clean up the request.pck and pending.pck files. You can use bin/dumpdb to dump the heldmsg-* files. You could probably script something to make a mbox file or a mail directory. It wouldn't be difficult to pipe the dumpdb output through sed to make a 'message'. That said and as Patrick suggests, I would make a list of those heldmsg-* files older than a week or two (or more if you prefer) and blindly delete those with bin/discard and handle the rest through the admindb interface. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
