RMNEWS(8)RMNEWS(8)NAMErmnews - expunge and remove news articles
SYNOPSISrmnewsDESCRIPTION
Rmnews reads article data from the standard input. It
then expunges and removes the listed articles. Rmnews is
designed to be used by InterNetNews to remove canceled,
superseded, and expired news articles.
The input is processed as an INN expirerm file listing or
an INN cancel stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the
newsfeeds(5) file. This data consists of lines of text,
each containing a list of relative article pathnames, with
a single space between entries. If a listed file is con-
tained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that
mailbox. In any case, each listed file is unlinked.
Rmnews reads its configuration options out of the
imapd.conf(5) file. The optional newsprefix option speci-
fies a prefix to be prepended to newsgroup names to make
the corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The required parti-
tion-news option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP
news mailboxes. The value of partition-news concatenated
with the dots-to-slashes-converted value of newsprefix
must be the pathname of the news spool directory.
