8       Expunge and remove news articles

SYNOPSIS

11       rmnews [ -C config-file ]
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16       InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.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(8) file listing or an INN
19       cancel stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the newsfeeds(5) file.  This
20       data  consists  of  lines  of  text, each containing a list of relative
21       article pathnames, with a single space between entries.   If  a  listed
22       file  is  contained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that
23       mailbox.  In any case, each listed file is unlinked.
24
25       rmnews reads its configuration options out of  the  imapd.conf(5)  file
26       unless specified otherwise by -C. The optional newsprefix option speci‐
27       fies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names  to  make  the  corre‐
28       sponding IMAP mailbox names.  The required partition-news option speci‐
29       fies the pathname prefix to the IMAP news mailboxes.  The value of par‐
30       tition-news  concatenated  with  the dots-to-slashes-converted value of
31       newsprefix must be the pathname of the news spool directory.
32

OPTIONS

34       -C config-file
35              Use the specified configuration file config-file rather than the
36              default imapd.conf(5).
