You would need to move the group you wish to be unlimited to a new pile in expire.conf and set no expiration rules. E.g.
pile 2 groups unlimited.group.name
To restrict attachment size per group, it is necessary to set item_max to the absolute maximum in dnews.conf (E.g. item_max 2000000).
Then, you will need to use rule-based filtering to enforce your per-group rules. There are a variety of ways to do this depending on the level of complexity you require.
Details on setting that up are at http://www.netwinsite.com/dnews/rules.htm
Most likely you will require a fairly simple rule...
-----------------------------------------------------
if(!isin("newsgroups","unlimited.group.name")) then
if(size()>76800) reject "Message too big"
end if
accept "Message Okay"
-----------------------------------------------------The maximum size for posts to unlimited.group.name will be controlled by the item_max setting.

I'm looking for a few solutions: How can I set the expiration to unlimeted for one group, but keep the expiration for all the other groups?
How can I set the size of attachments per group? I need to set this, because on a private server we only have text-groups in wich the messages can not be bigger then 75K, but we want one group for sharing binaries (Acces files, Pics, etc) up to 1 or two megs.
Tnx for the help.
