12 Expirerm is a script that removes a list of files. The specified file
13 lists the files. It is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline responsi‐
14 ble for doing the removal, normally fastrm(8). If there seemed to be a
15 problem removing the files, then mail is sent to the news administra‐
16 tor. If there were no problems, then file is renamed to <pathlog in
17 inn.conf>/expire.list where it is kept (for safety) until the next time
18 expiration is done.
