Exchange server 2003 SP1 on W2K3.

Found in the following location: C:\Program
Files\Exchsrvr\<Server_Name>.log

are a huge amout of files in the format: <date>.log which are 'Message
Tracking' log files.
My question is: Can I delete these fils without damaging Exchange?
I understand I would loose tracking capabilities afterwards.
TIA

You can go to server's Properties | General | check "Remove log files" and
enter number of days you want to preserve log files for. Files older than
that number of days will be removed by SA.
