MBLOCK and MPURGE Considerations
- Blocked
messages (explicitly by
MBLOCK
or implicitly by an all-mailbox
MPURGE
) are not
automatically deleted from the message server
. The space used by the message and the associated
header become available for reuse when the message server is restarted.
-
If a message has been forwarded, the forwarded instance is not automatically deleted by the
MPURGE
command. Make the message unplayable using the
MBLOCK
command. The message recipient hears
the sender
’
s name if available, but the message is not played. The prompt requesting that the
message be deleted is heard.
-
Any message can be Auto-Copied. If the single-mailbox
MPURGE
command is used to delete a
message, that message must be deleted from the Auto-Copy tar
get as well. If the all-mailbox
MPURGE
is used, in general, the message is deleted from Auto-Copy tar
gets.
-
Even if a message is part of a forwarding chain, only that particular message is blocked or pur
ged.
Block or pur
ge all messages in the chain, if desired. For instance, if a voice-annotated fax message is
to be pur
ged, enter the
MPURGE
command separately for both the voice annotation and for the fax
message. Similarly, if a message was forwarded with comments, delete both the comments and the
forwarded message with the
MPURGE
command.
-
If part of a forwarded message chain is marked unplayable, when the message server is restarted,
messages from the point of those marked unplayable are deleted. For example, if a message is
forwarded with comments and then forwarded a second time with comments, blocking the first
forwarded comments deletes those comments and the message, but the second forwarded comments
can still be played.
