Saved message file management

To manage saved message files, SMAT provides an interface for access and modification. These are options for resending and removing messages:

  • Resend messages to a currently running thread inside the engine, or to a length-encoded file. After saved to a file, resend the messages to a thread at a later date or modify with a text editor.

    To resend messages from multiple connections, work on each saved message file sequentially, because each connection saves its messages to another file.

  • If the saved message file is used only for disaster recovery, then select a period of time to keep delivered messages when removing earlier messages.
  • If the saved message file is used for statistical purposes, then it is useful to delete messages that are processed by the user-written statistics program.
