Deleting a remote subscriber manually

Running a remote update can use one of your networking ports for quite some time. If you want to delete a remote subscriber immediately but do not want to run a remote update, you can delete that subscriber manually.

Caution! Mailing lists often include administered remote subscribers. If you manually delete a remote subscriber, the subscriber's name is then removed from mailing lists with no notification to the remote subscriber or the mailing list owner.

To delete a remote subscriber manually:

1. Start at the Messaging Administration main menu and select:

Global Administration
     Subscriber Management

The system displays the Manage Remote Subscribers page.

Note: If you are accessing the system through a dial-up connection and you have a large number of remote subscribers administered on your system, you might want to filter subscribers to reduce the number of subscribers that display on the Manage Remote Subscribers page. Doing this allows the page to download more quickly. See Sorting and filtering remote subscribers for information about filtering subscribers.

2. Click Manage in the Remote Subscribers row for the remote system that contains the subscriber you want to delete.

   The system displays Manage Remote Subscriber page for the specific remote system.

3. Highlight the name of the subscriber you want to delete.
4. Click Delete the Selected Subscriber.
5. When prompted to confirm that you want to remove the subscriber from the database, click OK.

   The system deletes the subscriber, displays the updated Manage Remote Subscribers page, and then displays a subscriber successfully deleted confirmation message.

6. Click OK to close the confirmation message.
7. If you want to delete additional subscribers, return to Step 3. If you are finished deleting remote subscribers, click Return to Main.
