o Returns mail that cannot be delivered to the sender.
o Removes all other files.
In addition, warns users of requestors who have been waiting for a given number of days (the default is 1 day). Note that unless time is
specifically set, the default time values for the following options are used.
Options

Any files greater or equal to time days old are removed with appropriate information to the requestor. The default time
is 7 days.
Any files greater or equal to time days old are removed. An attempt is made to deliver mail messages and execute news
when appropriate. The default time is 7 days.
Any files equal to time cause a message to be mailed to the requestor warning about the delay in contacting the remote.
The message includes the JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message. The administrator can include a message
line telling who to call to correct the problem (see the option). The default time is 1 day.
Any files greater than or equal to time days old are removed. The files are probably not present (if they were, the
could be executed). But, if files are present, they are taken care of by processing. The default time is 2 days.
This string is included in the warning message generated by the
