I would also add to this that purging/packing the msg/file bases isn't something that I would be expected to do nightly either.

It shouldn't hurt things to run every night but it does recreate all of your msg/file base data files and is probably the "heaviest" process that MUTIL does.

I personally run it manually every month or so but if I had a public BBS I'd probably schedule it to run once per week.
