Controlling How Long Public Messages are Stored

The System > Configuration > Public Messages page controls how long public messages are stored after they have

been heard. Only subscribers who have public message access can listen to public messages.

After an authorized subscriber listens to a public message, it is marked as old and is not sent to any other subscriber. If

a subscriber deletes a public message, it is deleted from the mailboxes of all subscribers with public message access.

field. The default is 0 (zero), the message is deleted at midnight.
