I can see the expiration process in action once in a while, but connections are definitely still accepted. According to the new stats stuff, nntpcache has spent 27m of real time expiring since Aug 14 (when I reset the statistics). During that time, 140,000 articles, and 1600 xovers were expired. > How big is your cache.history file? About 30GB. I let the cache area fill, and I ended up with about a 25GB history file, so I didn't think it worthwhile to store more message-IDs. nntpcache seems to be keeping the cache.history file under control quite nicely, as I've never even caught it in the act of doing this. Also, expiration of cache.history is separate from expiration of articles (and xover material). > AB Tom
