The inMotion example looks about as simple as it can get. &nbsp;It seems like it would be easy to change &quot;archive&quot; to &quot;delete&quot; with only a few lines of code. <br />
<br />
What has HostGator said when you asked them about this question? &nbsp;Surely you are not the first HostGator client who was interested in automatic cleanup!

They just said you could write a cron job. &nbsp;That's it. &nbsp;When I went to the cpanel and clicked on Cron jobs there was a bunch of fields with dates and times etc... and one field to input the code.<br />
<br />
I thought I could just complete the fields and enter a simple line of code and I would be done.

I am with hostgator and have a cpanel on my account with the ability to add cron jobs. &nbsp;I currently have all emails on the cpanel forwarded to my internet hosting email. &nbsp;I want to have the emails deleted off the web server when I receive them on my email system at home. &nbsp;Does anyone have a cron job code for this?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
