NAME

8       rmnews - expunge and remove news articles
9

SYNOPSIS

11       rmnews
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Rmnews  reads  article  data from the standard input.  It then expunges
15       and removes the listed articles.  Rmnews is  designed  to  be  used  by
16       InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.
17
18       The input is processed as an INN expirerm file listing or an INN cancel
19       stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the newsfeeds(5) file.   This  data
20       consists  of  lines of text, each containing a list of relative article
21       pathnames, with a single space between entries.  If a  listed  file  is
22       contained  in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that mailbox.
23       In any case, each listed file is unlinked.
24
25       Rmnews reads its configuration options out of the  imapd.conf(5)  file.
26       The  optional  newsprefix  option specifies a prefix to be prepended to
27       newsgroup names to make the  corresponding  IMAP  mailbox  names.   The
28       required  partition-news  option  specifies  the pathname prefix to the
29       IMAP news mailboxes.  The value of partition-news concatenated with the
30       dots-to-slashes-converted  value  of newsprefix must be the pathname of
31       the news spool directory.
