Deleting subscribers from a file

Message Networking allows you to bulk delete subscribers from a file.

Before you can bulk delete subscribers, you must send the files you want to use for the bulk delete procedure to a subdirectory by using FTP. For information on subdirectories, see Message Networking file names for FTP.

Message Networking supports the following file formats:

• <string>.del is used for deleting subscribers (for example: dog.del.)
• <string>.log is created through logging actions.
• <String>.del.done file is created after execution (for example: dog.del.done file.)

Message Networking supports an ASCII file format containing one line for each subscriber in the following format:

remote machine name|mailbox ID
for example:
internet|7325551212

To delete subscribers in bulk from a file:

1. From the Administration menu, select Message Networking Administration > Subscriber Administration > Bulk Subscriber Administration > Delete Subscribers From File.
   The Delete Subscribers From File page displays.
2. Click Delete.
   A confirmation box displays asking if you want to delete subscribers from the file.
3. Click OK.
4. The system deletes all subscriber names.

5. Click Return to Main to return to the Administration menu.
