   Here's what I do...first set the scan time on the bbs to occur maybe every 15   
   minutes or longer to give you time to find the files you need to delete.   
      
   Then, look at your toss log and find the last packet and delete it and netmail   
   msg. it is attached to. It is pretty easy to find the packet by looking in   
   your netmail directory for the attach message because it will list the   
   filename in the subject.  You can view the file to make sure it's the right   
   message you just typed by using this linux command: unzip -pC /h   
   me/bbbs/outbound/e508d0f2.we1|strings |less   
      
   That's the way I do it    
      
   If you want to scan out faster after that, you can just type in the scan   
   command manually (cd bbbs; ./bbbs bogus r)   
      
   Hope that helps.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
