NAME

       rmnews - expunge and remove news articles

SYNOPSIS

       rmnews

DESCRIPTION

       Rmnews  reads  article  data  from the standard input.  It then expunges and removes the listed articles.  Rmnews is designed to be used by
       InterNetNews to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.

       The input is processed as an INN expirerm file listing or an INN cancel stream written as a ``WC'' entry in the	newsfeeds(5)  file.   This
       data  consists  of  lines  of text, each containing a list of relative article pathnames, with a single space between entries.  If a listed
       file is contained in an IMAP news mailbox, it is expunged out of that mailbox.  In any case, each listed file is unlinked.

       Rmnews reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file.  The optional newsprefix option specifies a prefix to be prepended to
       newsgroup names to make the corresponding IMAP mailbox names.  The required partition-news option specifies the pathname prefix to the IMAP
       news mailboxes.	The value of partition-news concatenated with the dots-to-slashes-converted value of newsprefix must be  the  pathname	of
       the news spool directory.
