I'm thinking of how best to quickly purge stuff held by a HUB for a node that
is MIA and being delisted. A filebox for both echomail and file areas seems
like a good idea to me. 

James had done some really helpful work in Mystic that allowed for echomail
to be purged from echomail\out BSO folders when a MUTIL function was run.
Ideally I'd like the same for HPT but the tossing echomail and files to a
filebox seems to me to be a quick win to at least spot probs and then nuke
things in a surgical way.

When you need to remove held packets etc. for a node how do you do it?
