It then expunges and removes the listed articles. <font size=3><I>Rmnews</I> <font size=3>is designed to be used by InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.</p> <p><font size=3>The input is processed as an INN <font size=3><I>expirerm</I> <font size=3>file listing or an INN cancel stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the <font size=3><I>newsfeeds</I><font size=3>(5) file. This data consists of lines of text, each containing a list of relative article pathnames, with a sin- gle space between entries. If a listed file is contained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that mail- box. In any case, each listed file is unlinked.</p> <p><font size=3><I>Rmnews</I> <font size=3>reads its configuration options out of the <font size=3><I>imapd.conf</I><font size=3>(5) file. The optional <font size=3><I>newsprefix</I> <font size=3>option specifies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The required <font size=3><I>par- tition-news</I> <font size=3>option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP news mailboxes. The value of <font size=3><I>partition-news</I> <font size=3>con- catenated with the dots-to-slashes-converted value of <font size=3><I>newsprefix</I> <font size=3>must be the pathname of the news spool direc- tory.</p> <a name="FILES"></a><h2>FILES</h2><a name="/etc/imapd.conf"></a><h2>/etc/imapd.conf</h2></body> </html>
