Ahh.. Thanks. That did the trick. I am trying to delete old logs - I clicked the CLEAR LOGS from the admin page but when I dumped the logs I still see old entries in some log files like smdb.log and smtp.log.

No real reason.. maintenance. Emptying logs so any entries are more current. Size is not an issue - only 16MB used.
Is there a reason this is not a good idea ? I have log dump zip files for prior reference if need be.
