  • HPTUtil unmaintained

    From Richard Menedetter@2:310/31 to All on Wed Feb 20 12:35:48 2019
    Hi All!

    I used to use hptutil purge to purge the msgbase.
    Now on a new 64 bit Linux system hptutil segfaults.

    Is sqpack a better alternative for hptutil purge?

    I have not used hptutil so I can't say sqpack is better but I use it her with good results for many years.

    sqpack netmail or sqpack "*" works for me.

    sqpack netmail or sqpack "*" works for me.

    I have also changed to exactly that.
    Seems to work fine here as well.

    I think hptutil is unmaintained.

    Thanx for your reply and help.

    I've seen that happen also.. :(

    It sure works better. I don't purge at all, but sometimes I 'pack' areas. I try not to renumber message bases, it messes up the message counters with jamnntpd.
