Thanks to some pointers I found and ported the contrib/nntpmail/ stuff
for bidirectionally gatewaying a local newsgroup to a mailing list.

I looked at the manuals and the code for expire and could find no way
of making a news group never expire.

I ended up setting up an explist line like:

	# local accell news - Not purged for a *long* time
	local.accell	x		4000	-

This sets things up to not expire for more than ten years which seems
sufficient. My question is one of curiosity. Is there no way to set up
a newsgroup in C News so it never expires?
