Subject: (6.10) How does /remember/ in expire.ctl work?
(from Jerry Aguirre) The /remember/ time specifies how long a history only (i.e. a entry that only is in history, but where the article is no longer there) entry will be kept measured from the arrival time. If the expire value is 14 days and the /remember/ time is 5 then entries will be kept for 15 days. This is because the /remember/ only applies to entries after that articles have expired. It can not force a history entry to be removed before the article is expired. The extra day beyond expire might be considered a harmless bug in expire. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 6 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part6] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/07/01 01:25:41 $ $Revision: 2.21 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
