Mmp services log files rotation

Question

Hi,
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-5.02 (built Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-5.02 (built 17:15:31, Oct 12 2007; 32bit)
SunOS mta01 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240
I'm trying to find out what setting controls mmp services log file rotation and how to change it. Presently, it appears rotation take place daily and files are kept forever.
ImapProxy_<date>.log
AServices_<date>.log
I would prefer to only keep these files for a week or so.
Should I configure:
local.schedule.prune_mmp = "45 23 * * * /usr/bin/find /var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/log -name ImapProxy\* -atime +3 -exec rm {} \; "
local.schedule.prune_mmp.enable = 1
Thanks.

local.schedule.prune_mmp.enable = 1This is definitely one way to prune the log files. I would use the following find string instead:
{code}
/usr/bin/find /var/opt/SUNWmsgsr/log/ -name 'ImapProxy_*.log' -mtime +6 -exec rm {} \; "
You would need to write/enable a similar rule to prune the AServices_*.log files as well.
