Subject: pgnus expiry?

Message-ID: <glmzp8szl5e.fsf@caffeine.mitre.org> (raw)
Am I the only one for whom expiry has ceased to do anything useful?
For a while I thought that I had broken it myself, but after some
experimentation, I don't believe that is the case.
For example... my toplevel topic has the total-expire parameter set to
t, and my emacs subtopic has expiry-wait set to 14. I have messages
in my ding group that are much more than two weeks old. Dating back
to things sent fairly early in the pgnus cycle, in fact.
(The fact that I set the group parameters in the topics has nothing to
do with the problem, really.)
Invoking expiry simply gives the "Expiring messages in nnml:ding...done"
message, doesn't delete anything, and then finishes. Quite quickly.
As much as I appreciate the speedup in expiry speed, disk isn't quite
that cheap. Any ideas?
