MPURGE Command for Message-by-Message Use
To
delete a message from one mailbox, at the @ prompt, type
MPURGE x z
Enter
In this command,
x
is the message header number and
z
is the mailbox number
.
Before checking whether the message is actually present in the mailbox, the Octel Overture 200/300
requests confirmation before deleting a message from the mailbox. For example, when a message is to be
deleted from one mailbox, the message server responds with the following:
DELETE MESSAGE 5001 FROM MAILBOX 2022
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS? Y
@
. If
an original recipient has forwarded the message, the forwarded instance of the message is not
deleted with the
MPURGE x y
command. However
, if a message is deleted from
every
mailbox
by the
MPURGE x
command, the message, but not the forwarding comments, is blocked and
cannot play
.
If the message should be restricted from all delivery
, two options for removing the message are available:
-
Use
MPURGE
to delete the message from all mailboxes. If the message server is lar
ge, this could take
some time. The message could be heard by some users before the command to delete it from their
mailboxes is issued.
-
Do an
MBLOCK
and then a single-mailbox
MPURGE
for each mailbox to which the message was sent.
If the message should go to some of the originally addressed mailboxes, then the options are as follows:
-
Use
MPURGE
to delete the message from all mailboxes, and then create a new message with the
appropriate information. Send the message to the desired mailbox addresses.
-
Use a single-mailbox
MPURGE
for each mailbox that should not receive the message. If any of these
mailboxes are configured for Auto-Copy
, perform the message pur
ge from the Auto-Copy tar
get.
Forwarded messages and network messages are not deleted.
