This will limit your debug data down to the last 10 days
+I updated my Linux distribution and now Spider cannot read the users file or the dupefile, what is the problem?
+
+
+Almost certainly this is a change in the db format of perl. Follow these
+few steps to correct the problem.
+
+
+- stop the cluster (disable any autostart in inittab)
+
- cd /spider/data
+
- issue the command perl user_asc
+
- restart the cluster
+
+
+That should solve the problem.
+
+Since I last updated I seem to be getting duplicate spots appearing.
+
+
+What has probably happened is that the dupefile has got corrupted in
+some way. Simply delete the /spider/data/dupefile and restart the
+cluster. It may take a little time to become fully functional but
+should solve your problem.
+
+I have deleted a message but it is still there, why?
+
+
+This is now the way messages are handled for deletion in Spider. If you
+look closely you will see a 'D' following the message number. This
+message is marked for deletion and will be deleted in 2 days if nothing
+further is done. Optionally you can use the command delete/expunge
+to delete it immediately.
