Greetings,

I have a couple of questions about tidying in archives and spool
directories.

As probably most of us Listserv admins I've seen a bunch of virus
infested messages in my lists. As we've also seen, the latest kind also
comes with a sometimes hefty payload. I'd like to clean that up by
removing the messages in question from the archive. 

What would the correct procedure be?

Also, from some strange stops my server does, from time to time,
(basically it gets killed by the OS because it asks for memory which it
cannot get when a large free-text search request is made) I get lots of
messages that are marked as "held". 

Is there a command to get a list of messages being held, that describes
them more in detail than MC LCMD SHOW?

And, is there a method to remove such messages from the spool area and
the held list? 

I'm running short on disk, which makes matters more urgent... 

Thanks in advance,
