Re: Weird problems with fetchnews or slrn

It looked as if it didn't notice the subscribe anymore.

AFAIK, the default time before a newsgroup is dropped is something
like 30 days after the last article is retrieved by an end-user.

Mine is set to 20.

If you call fetchnews manually using something like:

fetchnews -vvv -x 100

what do you see?

What I have done is remover everything, from
/var/spool/news/[alt|be|nl|xs4all] then ran texpire, fetchnews, opens
slrn, go into each group to see the leafnode message, exit slrn and
re-run fetchnews and mark all messages in slrn as read.

So I probably have missed some messages, but it seems to be working
again. Still very strange.
