B news, 2.11 patchlevel 17
For some reason, I'm not getting my expire to work right.
I'm especially annoyed that I can't seem to get it to expire
some articles dateing back to November in misc.legal and other groups
that nobody here reads. I've tried running it directly,
$ expire -v6 -e5 -E30 -n misc !all.sources
with no visible improvement.
Do I need to rebuild the history file?
Do all of my "E" options need to be the same length?
I've got other artifacts, but these are the most annoying.
I'm running with dbz.
Please respond by mail, I don't seem to get this group.
