.. I know that doing an expire -r or an expire -o will delete messages from my
.. news.dat file, but not reclaim the space they took up. How do I reclaim
.. this space? My news.dat file is above 90 MB at the moment, and I would LOVE
.. to get it down in size.
"rebuild -s" will rebuild your spool & history file and reclaim the
unused database space. But, it also resets the expire date on ALL the
remaining messages.
