  • maintenance weirdness

    From Ratz@21:2/114 to All on Fri Feb 4 15:33:36 2022
    My nightly maint script using "PurgeMessageBases = true" seems to be deleting messages from netmail and another folder based on user names. Is there an option to prevent this? I only want msgs deleted using the settings from MessageBase Editor i.e. Max Msgs/Max Msg Age.

    I noticed this on mystic version a47 and the latest a48 alpha.

    here's a safe link to a log snippet.

    I'm not yet running this version but that function I would have thought should obey the settings of each base, so check you have those purge settings set to 0 for the bases you don't want it to touch.

    I did restore my msgs from a backup and run FilePack with both set to zero and it did it again. I'm not sure where to even look for a setting for this.
