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14 InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.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