purgestat (V8.8 or Later)
The name purgestat is a synonym
for the V8.8 and later -bH command-line switch (-bH on page 234). It causes
sendmail to clear (purge) all
the host-status information that was being saved
under the HostStatusDirectory option’s directory
(HostStatusDirectory on page
1037). Clearing is done by removing all the
directories under the HostStatusDirectory directory. Note
that the HostStatusDirectory directory is not
itself removed.
Beginning with V8.10, sendmail
purges host-status information only for hosts that
exceed the setting of the Timeout.hoststatus option (Timeout.hoststatus (V8.8 and later)
on page 1103).
