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InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.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
contained 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 specifies a prefix to be prepended to
newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names. The
required partition-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.
