newsprune (At Utilities by Matt Dillon) INN/HISTORY based spool cleaner-upper V
2.03
For news administrators running INN and using standard inn history files, a program which
efficiently locates articles that are no longer referenced by the history file and produces a list of
them on the standard output. Nominally used to delete articles that INN has lost track of. This
coupled with a 'expireover -s' to clean your overview files does a pretty good job keeping your
news spool clean.
nocem and nocemOnSpool (At ISC/INN/unoff-contrib) also (At BELNET News Software and Docs)

you can get the groups alt.nocem.misc locally.
