Sorry if this has been asked before... Our feed site sends us some groups we don't want to keep on disk. For various reasons, we cannot stop them from sending us those groups. Rather than expiring those groups quickly, I tried to exclude them in the sys file entry for our site, e.g.: ptcburp:world,!soc:: The articles for soc now all end up in junk, where they still consume disk space. Does anyone know how to convince news to throw them into the bit bucket, rather than moving all these articles into junk ? Michi.
