+flow control notes
+to ensure articles go away eventually
+separate queue for each input file
+  queue expiry
+    every period, check head of backlog queue for expiry with SMretrieve
+      if too old: discard, and check next article
+    also check every backlog article as we read it
+  flush expiry
+    after too long in SEPARATED/DROPPING ie Separated/Finishing/Dropping
+    one-off: eat queued articles from flushing and write them to defer
+    one-off: connfail all connections which have any articles from flushing
+    newly read articles from flushing go straight to defer
+    this should take care of it and get us out of this state
+to avoid filling up ram needlessly
+  input control
+    limit number of queued articles for each ipf
+    pause/resume inputfile tailing
