RE: [leafnode-list] fetchnews not getting all messages

["hicks, verdell" <hicks_verdell@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info Jo:rg.  What would be the best way to get rid of or
reset this?  maxage was never explicitly set but if there is a default then
that may definitely be the culprit!  Can I just set maxage in the config
file to some extremely high number and forget about it or is there a way to
change the default without mucking with the source code?  Either way would
be fine I'm just curious to know which is best.

You might have been hit by the default maxage.
