The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Gordon Chung <address@concealed>]

Hi,

We upgraded to 6.1.17 a few months ago and last week I was alerted to the 
size of the sympa mysql bulkspool table which was about 1.5GB. Looking at it 
today, it has grown to 2.71GB. I don't know if this is normal or not.

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation relating to the 
bulkspool table on sympa.org but I've come across the sympa.conf parameter 
"purge_tables_task" which is run by the task_manager.pl  to remove entries in 
the bulkspool_table that don't have any relationships to a packet in the 
bulkmailer_table. Does someone know if I should be using this parameter and 
how do I use it or is there something else that is wrong?

Regards
Gordon
