Email logs grow over time. SMTPPai lets you delete entries manually and also cleans old rows automatically based on your retention setting.
Delete selected or all
- Open SMTPPai → Email Log.
- Select rows and delete them, or use Delete all when you intentionally want a clean slate (for example after staging tests).
Deleting log rows does not delete your connections or settings.
Automatic cleanup
SMTPPai schedules a daily cleanup job (mailpai_smtp_log_cleanup). It removes log entries older than the number of days set under Settings → Keep logs for (days). The default on a fresh install is 14 days.
How to choose a retention period
- Shorter (7–14 days) — better privacy, smaller database, enough for recent troubleshooting.
- Longer — useful if you investigate delivery disputes weeks later; combine with care if you also store bodies.
Change the value under Email log settings.
