I'm rather new to being a news/mail administrator, thus I have a few questions lingering in the back of my mind: 1) Expire fails daily, citing, "expire: dbm store failed", as the cause. I'm not sure why this happens, nor am I sure what to do to fix it. I rebuilt the history file using "expire -r <etc,etc>", but the problem persists. Any advice would be appreciated. 2) I appreciate greatly how WONDERFUL a finely tuned mailer can be, unfortunately, until recently, I never had to deal with it and now am going completely insane. I understand the concepts behind and sources for UUCP maps, but have no knowledge on the software that uses the maps, or how to set it up. I know this is a large request, but I'm sure the expertise out there could benefit many readers. Thanks in advance .. -Jeff P.S. Please note the addresses on the .signature..
