It then expunges and removes the listed articles. <i>Rmnews</i> is designed to be used by InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>The input is processed as an INN <i>expirerm</i> file listing or an INN cancel stream written as a ‘‘WC’’ entry in the <i>newsfeeds</i>(5) file. This data consists of lines of text, each containing a list of relative article pathnames, with a single space between entries. If a listed file is contained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that mailbox. In any case, each listed file is unlinked.</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p><i>Rmnews</i> reads its configuration options out of the <i>imapd.conf</i>(5) file. The optional <i>newsprefix</i> option specifies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The required <i>partition-news</i> option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP news mailboxes. The value of <i>partition-news</i> concatenated with the dots-to-slashes-converted value of <i>newsprefix</i> must be the pathname of the news spool directory.</p> </td> </table> <a name="FILES"></a> <h2>FILES</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="10%"></td> <td width="89%"> <p><b>/etc/imapd.conf</b></p></td> </table> <hr> </body> </html>
