Well, Rassel and Erland have alredy answered you. I would like to add
Erland is correct, you need to drop the database , as you said 'an old' log
files means that db is not in used anymore, right?
However , if the db is still in use you need
1) BACKUP LOG file
2) DBCC SHRINKFILE

DROP DATABASE. Yes, that will get rid of the entire database, but
that is exactly what you are asking for. Never delete a log file, unless
you want to lose your database.

First decide what kind of recovery you need in case of a disaster. Are
you content with restoring from the last good backup? Or do you need

SA,
You cannot delete the primary log file, which is probably what you have.
You can shrink it by using:
DBCC SHRINKFILE (Database_Log, <size in megabytes>)

Dan,
Have you checked for dumps being recorded on your SQL Server? If an
exception is being registered, it is possible that at least some data got
recorded. Look in the same directory where the SQL Server logs are written.
(Not database log files, but the "application" log of SQL Server.)
If there is anything there it might give you a clue. Unless, of course, the

I’ve lifted the sample code directly, tried to run it, and it fails.

XML output, passes it through an XSLT style sheet, and generates an

SMTP authentication

2009-02-25T19:50:01Z

Our SMTP server requires authentication and I cannot find where in NS, SMTP
authentication can be configured. Several hours of googling have also lead
nowhere. From what I can tell, to use NS to send external emails, the email
server must allow relaying from the NS server (that will not be allowed).
