I'm rather new to being a news/mail administrator, thus I have a few questions
lingering in the back of my mind:


1)  Expire fails daily, citing, "expire:  dbm store failed", as the cause.
    I'm not sure why this happens, nor am I sure what to do to fix it.
    I rebuilt the history file using "expire -r <etc,etc>", but the
    problem persists.  Any advice would be appreciated.

2)  I appreciate greatly how WONDERFUL a finely tuned mailer can be, 
    unfortunately, until recently, I never had to deal with it and now
    am going completely insane.  I understand the concepts behind and sources
    for UUCP maps, but have no knowledge on the software that uses the
    maps, or how to set it up.  I know this is a large request, but I'm
    sure the expertise out there could benefit many readers.

Thanks in advance ..
