Hi, there is a general problem with the 'days' limit on low volume local
groups, basically dnews only deletes entire buckets, which by default
are 10mb, so in 25 days you may only use 1mb of storage dnews will
refuse to delete the one and only bucket until about 250 days have passed.
The solution is to decrease bucket size when using local groups like this.
Set in dnews.conf
bucket_size 100000
Make sure your bucket size is large enough that you will have less than 10,000
buckets total.
