Select Enable ZIP Feature,
Optionally, Select Delete Original Log File After Zipped,
Fill in ZIP Files Older Than (Hours) section, -- 168 (1 week), for example.

If this is the first time configuring IISLogs to ZIP files, you'll be prompted to agree to the
ZIP Feature Policy Agreement.  This is an explicit agreement the person configuring
has tested IISLogs in a non-production environment or is in process of testing. Also 
verifying backups are available to insure critical Log Files are available, if needed. 

Notice the Delete Original File After Zipped, by default IISLogs doesn't remove the original log file
and ONLY creates a zip file.  We strongly recommend you verify the zip files are able
to be extracted and/or recovered before enabling delete original file. 

Click Next

If you want to enable the one of the four delete options through out IISLOGS, you'll be
prompted to agree to the Delete File Policy Agreement.   Enabling anyone of these
delete options for the first time will prompt you.  Once you've agreed, you'll not be
prompted again.  For me, I enable the Enable Delete Feature first and have it delete files
older than 10 weeks old.  this will vary depending on your policies.

Select Enable Delete Feature option, you'll be prompted to agree to the
Delete File Policy Agreement.  Read, chose Accept and click OK.  You'll not be prompted
again.

Select Enable Delete Feature
Fill in Delete files Older than (hours) -- 1688 hours, for example.

This is a separate feature from IISLOGS, ONLY will DELETE files. This is feature to have the ability have some directories that  are configured to zip and delete and others to have the option to JUST delete after a separate configurable delete parameter, just put a comma deleted list of  directories to have their log files deleted separate from IISLogs core functionality I.E.(C:\LogfileDir1,C:\LogfileDir2,C:\LogfileDir3) NO SPACES please.

This feature will ONLY allow for monitoring the SMTP directories, normally under C:\Inetpub\Mailroot directory. This is a separate feature from IISLOGS and won't ZIP files, files with extensions .BAD,.BDR,.BDP will ONLY be allowed to be deleted in the configured directories.

Select Mail Report, Note: the Mail User id and Mail Password fields are stored encrypted so they aren't clear text in the config file.
