Due to disk space limitations, I do not wish to keep comp.mail.maps around.
My attempt at expiring it after one day seems to have failed, the various
large articles there hang around anyway.  The line from crontab is:
0 20 * * *		/usr/lib/news/expire -n comp.mail.maps -I -e 1 -E 15  > /dev/null

I have even tried removing the Expire lines from some of the article, no
good.

I really do not want to have to continually rm these articles by hand, so
does anyone out there have any ideas??.


[P.S. I am running the standard news software distributed by SCO with Xenix/286]
