[leafnode-list] texpire isn't working

[Pierre Abbat <phma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have my expiration time set to 30, but I have articles dating back to 
January 24. I check /var/log/messages, and it says that texpire deleted an 
occasional single article, but most of the time it deleted nothing. I'm 
running 1.9.18 and have not changed texpire. The news spool is on a Reiser 
filesystem. What's wrong? What does "high water mark" mean?

comp.lang.python.announce I don't read, I used it as a demo. The last article 
in it is from February 20. The last thing in sci.physics is Feb. 3, so they 
should all be deleted by now.
