Hi,
The expire_at setting is incorrect, this should specify minutes and then the
hour -
expire_at 0 2
(Expire at 2am)
Deleting messages after x days is only possible if there is a sufficient
volume of news going in to the pile to fill an entire bucket within x days.
No items will be removed from any pile if at least one bucket is not
completely full. For a bucket to be removed, it must not be the last bucket
in the pile, and the newest article must have arrived more than x days ago.
One solution is to lower your bucket size, but since you're also handling
large binary posts, this is not recommended as it could cause dnews to run
out of buckets. If you /must/ delete them, you can create a script delete
the old items using the 'tellnews killitem' command. This will not remove
the item from the spool - this will still occur when the bucket is full and
past the expiration date.
