I am wondering if Expire is working properly.  After having our feed up
for a little over a week, we are already running short of disk space,
relatively.  We started with 146MB, and are already down to 27MB.

Here is our explist:


# modified version, no archiving
#
# hold onto history lines 14 days, nobody gets >90 days
/expired/			x	14	-
/bounds/			x	0-1-90	-

# override later defaults for some groups of note
#sci.space.shuttle,rec.birds	x	7	-

# big non-tech groups held long enough for a long weekend
news,sci,rec,talk,soc,misc,alt	u	4	-

# real noise gets thrown away fast
news.groups			x	2	-
junk				x	2	-
gnu				x	2	-

# throw away some technical stuff not worth archiving
comp.mail.maps			x	4	-

# default:  7 days and archive
all				x	7	-	

And here is our cron entry for news:


15 *	1-31 *	0-6	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/input/newsrun'
30 8	1-31 *	1-5	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/input/newsrunning off'
00 17	1-31 *	1-5	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/input/newsrunning on'
40 *	1-31 *	0-6	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/batch/sendbatches'
59 0	1-31 *	0-6	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/expire/doexpire '
10 8	1-31 *	0-6	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/maint/newsdaily'
00 5,13,21	1-31 *	0-6	su news '/usr/lib/newsbin/maint/newswatch'

Thanks for any help.
