-
-

- Released for testing 07/09/91
-
- Import/Toss/Fasttoss will only check packet addresses IF the -S secure
- switch is present. Offending packets will be renamed .BAD and a Netmail
- message created to document this action. If the -C and -S switches are
- both present, then the offending packet is merely deleted, as the original
- logic would have it. If you run -S and get a .BAD left in your Inbound
- area, to toss it merely rename it to *.PKT and invoke VPurge Toss without
- the -S switch.
-
-
- VPurge Beta, saves mis-addressed packets as BAD, V4.09e.181
- Also cleans up a couple of TRAP conditions in the OS/2 version

- Do NOT pass this one around! Graham's code is NOT stable.

-
- VPurge with Logging and Statistics V4.09d(1a)
- Enhanced by Graham J Stair (FidoNet 3:711/409.0)
- Released 23rd June 1991
-
-
- This version of VPurge has been enhanced to write out a log which
- contains import and export information, along with some messages. The
- main thrust was to get import/export messages detailed enough to
- at least match QMail's stats. As such the error logging is pretty poor,
- it is suffice to say that if you have a "perfectly" working VPurge system,
- you don't need the error messages. Over time the error reporting will be
- enhanced, and additional information will be added. For the moment it does
- everything I need.
-
- One bug was fixed which was introduced with the 4.09 series. VPurge would
- not recognise my "echotoss.log" being created by MSGED V2.06c. This was
- due to VPurge expecting two "\r" (returns) at the end of each line
- containing an AREAS.BBS name. This has now been fixed, and 4.09's goal
- of matching AREAS.BBS names EXACTLY was maintained.
-
- This release may NOT work on some DOS systems under the existing
- configuration due to the increased code causing a bigger EXE file, as well
- as using more memory to store the statistics. This is not a problem
- for the OS/2 users <hint, hint>.
-
- To use the logging facility of VPurge, you need to set up an environment
- variable called VP.LOG or VP2.LOG. VP2.LOG will take precendence if both
- are defined.
-
- Example..
-
- SET VP2.LOG=c:\vpurge\vpurge.log
-
-
- At this point, whenever VPurge is run, it will log import/export
- information. This information includes (but is not limited too)...
-
- .. start & end time of each import/export.
- .. archive name, address from, date and size being unpacked.
- .. packet name, address from, date and size being tossed.
- .. where the messages were tossed to.
- .. the number of duplicates found (dupes=).
- .. the number of messages that didn't pass security (sec=).
- .. where each export "sends" each message.
- .. summary of each import/export session.
- .. messages per second processed for each import/export session.
- .. the elapsed (et=) time of the import/export.
- .. the return code (rc=) of the import/export.
-
- Here's an example...
