Just found these “new” postings going back to June in this group. Is it just
a local problem of mine with knode or a general problem with this group?

Did you just subscribe to this particular group or have you been
subscribed and then all of the sudden it finds that many postings?

I’d say local, haven’t had such volumes of new messages.

I’ve been subscribed to the group for ages - along with over a dozen others
on this server - and check it most days and mark it “all read” when
finished. Looks like a hiccup with Knode but only on this group. Weird.

Graham;
Have you looked at the settings for Knode under “Cleanup” to see if the expire
is set correctly?

I’m not sure what “correctly” means but regardless, my settings are -
“Expire old articles automatically” - unchecked
“Keep read articles” - 10 days
“Keep unread articles” - 15 days
“Remove articles that are not available on the server” - checked
“Preserve threads” - checked
“Compact folders automatically” - checked
“Purge folders every” - 5 days
These appear to be the default settings.

Try checking the above to see if it helps. I believe that should prevent it
from picking up old articles.

Thanks for the suggestion but as this problem has only occurred once in
several years I think I might take the coward’s way out and leave well
alone. I’d hate to find something happen that would be worse than the
original problem.
