Take a look at the info page for Group Parameters, in particular auto-expir= e and total-expire. You need one of them set for that expiry wait (which c= an also be set on a per group basis through parameters) to have any effect.= Which you choose (auto vs total) seems to me to be a matter of taste. I = prefer total-expire for what it's worth. If you use topics in the Group bu= ffer, you can set the parameters on a topic instead of per group and all th= e groups in the topic get those settings. Finally, expiry only works if th= e expiry function gets called. I think it happens by default on group exit= but I disabled that a long time ago - probably over a decade. I don't rem= ember why. --=20 Dave Goldberg david.goldberg6@verizon.net
