Mail cleanup process on AS400

["Peter Vidal" <Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi list:

I have read that in order to clean up mangled mail in the IBM SMTP environment,
I need to create a data area like this:

CRTDTAARA DTAARA(QUSRSYS/QTMSCLEAN) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE('C') AUT(*ALL)

Then, I have to stop and restart the SMTP server using the ENDTCPSVR and
STRTCPSVR command. To clean up mangled mail in the MSF area you need to stop MSF
(ENDMSF command) then use the *CLEAR option on when starting it:

   STRMSF OPTION(*CLEAR)

Is it possible to do this automatically? If so, when is the best time/conditions
to be able to run this?  Is it good to include these steps as part of the IPL
process?  Should we do it daily as part of the backup process?

You opinion is highly appreciated.
