If I do a local search then a Shift-Delete does that purge those records from the local spool?
The main reason I'm wondering this is that I have my spool on a 48GB partition and I'm down to only 3.7GB free. Using search to find spam that is crossposted to multiple groups and nuke it all at once. That way freeing up space for real posts.
Hum. Looks like I have 6GB wasted on the Image DB. I guess I'll blow that away.
Having newsbin use a separate partition for the spool is helpful in keeping the drive defragmented. (This was much more important back when newsbin used a separate file for each day for each newsgroup. I know there were 30,000+ files in that partition.)
