Thanks to some pointers I found and ported the contrib/nntpmail/ stuff
for bidirectionally gatewaying a local newsgroup to a mailing list.
I looked at the manuals and the code for expire and could find no way
of making a news group never expire.
I ended up setting up an explist line like:
# local accell news - Not purged for a *long* time
local.accell x 4000 -
This sets things up to not expire for more than ten years which seems
sufficient. My question is one of curiosity. Is there no way to set up
a newsgroup in C News so it never expires?

It's something I never thought of, actually. It ought to be trivial enough, and could be useful. I'll do something about it. -- A bit of tolerance is worth a | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology megabyte of flaming. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
