INN FAQ Part 6

NOTE: The maintainers of the INN FAQ stopped publishing in December 1997.
An important update to this topic is provided by Mib Software in the Usenet RKT for Subscribers.

Subject: (6.23) Fill different types of control messages in different directories?


If you want to keep newgroup messages longer and expire cancel messages after
half a day you can do the following:

Create the groups control.newgroup and control.cancel

ctlinnd newgroup control.newgroup
ctlinnd newgroup control.cancel
Add the following to expire.ctl:

control.*:A:1:2:4
control.sendsys:A:10:15:21
control.newgroup:A:10:15:21
so all control messages typically expire after 2 days, but sendsys and
newgroup messages are normally kept for 15 days.
You should also change newsfeeds appropriately to reflect the changes that
control now is a group and a hierarchy.
