Configure Newsgroup Expiration Policy
In Exchange 2000/2003, how can I configure a newsgroup expiration policy?
If you’re running a newsgroup feed from a live NNTP server (see Configure Newsgroup Feed From a NNTP Server) you might want to configure an expiration policy to automatically delete items older than X days so not to overwhelm the server.
-
To do so open the Exchange System Manager console.
-
Drill down to your server’s name and open the Protocols container.
-
Open the NNTP container, double-click the Default NNTP Virtual Server.
-
Right-click the Expiration Policy sub-container and choose New.
-
Give the new policy a name. Any name. Click Next.
-
In the newsgroups filter window choose all the newsgroups this policy will effect. I chose all policies by leaving the default * in place. Click Next.
-
In the When should articles be deleted box time the time, in hours. The default is 7 days. Click Next.
-
Click Finish.
-
View the new policy.
