articles will expirate after 10 days and that each newsgroup
can only use 500MB of disk space .what is the result
– Articles will only deleted after 10days
– Articles will only deleted after newsgroup reach 500MB
– As long as there is disk space ,articles will not be deleted until

– If an Article is over 10 days old,it will be deleted.if the 500MB is
exceed before the 10days limit is reached ,the oldest articles will
