Re: [cobalt-users] Delete Server Mail Cache

["John Hardin" <jhardin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Last week there was discussion about deleting stored 
mail on the server. I have a Raq4i. Someone mentioned

% cp /dev/null/home/spool/mail/root.

I found a huge 6,407,000 bytes mail file stored at

/var/spool/mail/admin

Can someone instruct me how to empty it. I'm not that
good at Telnet yet. I can login and then type ru and login
to root. Do I then type this:

% cp /dev/null/home/spool/mail/root

and hit return?  I've had very little experience using telnet.

Or delete the file somehow to clear out this server mail cache
from time to time? Will this not only save space, but get rid of
any emails that may have viruses that could mess things up?

Thanks:)

John
