NAME
       expirerm - remove articles that have been expired.

SYNOPSIS
       expirerm file

DESCRIPTION
       Expirerm is a script that removes a list of files.  The specified file lists the files.	It is sorted, and then fed into a pipeline respon-
       sible for doing the removal, normally fastrm(8).  If there seemed to be a problem removing the files, then mail is sent to the news  admin-
       istrator.   If  there  were  no problems, then file is renamed to <pathlog in inn.conf>/expire.list where it is kept (for safety) until the
       next time expiration is done.
