During an archive update, any messages with dates less than the EXPIREDATE are automatically removed. If a message to be added is older than EXPIREDATE, it is not added. </p> <p>The syntax for EXPIREDATE is as follows: </p> <blockquote> <p><var>DD</var><tt> </tt><var>Mon</var><tt> </tt><var>YY</var><tt> </tt><var>HH</var><tt>:</tt><var>MM</var><tt>:</tt><var>SS</var><tt> </tt><var>Zone</var> </p> </blockquote> <p>24 hour time must be used. The timezone is optional. If non-existent, the local zone is used. If a symbolic timezone is used (eg: "EST"), make sure it is defined in the <a href="timezones.html">TIMEZONES</a> resource. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Default Setting</h2> <p>Nil. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Resource Variables</h2> <p>N/A </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Examples</h2> <p>EXPIREDATE is useful if you want to insure messages older than a specified date do not get archived. For example, if you want to make sure that no message before 1997 is added, then define EXPIREDATE as follows: </p> <pre> <b><ExpireDate></b> 1 Jan 1997 00:00:00 <b></ExpireDate></b> </pre> <p>However, this specifies local time. It is possible that some message can get excluded that have a 1997 date (depending on what timezone you are in). The following is more accurate: </p> <pre> <b><ExpireDate></b> 1 Jan 1997 00:00:00 +0000 <b></ExpireDate></b> </pre> <p>Or,</p> <pre> <b><ExpireDate></b> 1 Jan 1997 00:00:00 GMT <b></ExpireDate></b> </pre> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Version</h2> <p>2.0 </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>See Also</h2> <p> <a href="expireage.html">EXPIREAGE</a>, <a href="timezones.html">TIMEZONES</a> </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <address> 00/10/28 11:13:01<br> <img align="top" src="../monicon.gif" alt=""> <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/mhonarc.html" ><strong>MHonArc</strong></a><br> Copyright © 1997-1998, <a href="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/" >Earl Hood</a>, <a href="mailto:mhonarc@pobox.com" >mhonarc@pobox.com</a><br> </address> </body> </html>
