Type and version: KN02ca 7.6G (3 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
I want my "deleted" files to get expunged.
What's wrong:
I still have stuff from weeks ago (I expunged
stuff older than 10 days manually, but I had stuff that
was a month old).
What should have happened:
According to olc answers, if I had rmmproc: delete
in my .mh_profile, messages which I get rid of by typing
"rmm" will be renamed .#<number> (so far so good) and
then automatically deleted by the system (expunge) once
they are more than 3 days old. This does not happen.
I've talked to olc; we've gone over my .mh_profile and
the AFS privileges for my directories. I even set the
NFS privileges (chmod go+rx or +rw), in case the AFS
permissions were not enough for expunge -- which olc
lated decided should run as root and not be bothered
by such things. Still, nothing happened last night.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
See "olc answers" -> MAIL answers -> how to DELETE messages
(Sorry - I don't have the exact menu choices; I'm dialed in).
Please mail me with any guesses as to why this isn't working.
