2 ## expire.ctl - expire control file
5 ## <class>:<min>:<default>:<max>
6 ## <wildmat>:<flag>:<min>:<default>:<max>
7 ## First line gives history retention; second line specifies expiration
8 ## for classes; third line specifies expiration for group if groupbaseexpiry
10 ## <class> class specified in storage.conf
11 ## <wildmat> wildmat-style patterns for the newsgroups
12 ## <min> Mininum number of days to keep article
13 ## <default> Default number of days to keep the article
14 ## <max> Flush article after this many days
15 ## <min>, <default>, and <max> can be floating-point numbers or the
16 ## word "never." Times are based on when received unless -p is used;
19 ## If article expires before 10 days, we still remember it for 10 days in
20 ## case we get offered it again. Depending on what you use for the innd
21 ## -c flag and how paranoid you are about old news, you might want to
22 ## make this 28, 30, etc, but it's probably safe to reduce it to 7 in most
23 ## cases if you want to keep your history file smaller.
26 ## Keep for 1-10 days, allow Expires headers to work. This entry uses
27 ## the syntax appropriate when groupbaseexpiry is true in inn.conf.
30 ## Keep for 1-10 days, allow Expires headers to work. This is an entry
31 ## based on storage class, used when groupbaseexpiry is false.
