RMNEWS(8)
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  to remove canceled, superseded, and expired news articles.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.
