44 | <h2>Description</h2> | |
45 | ||
46 | <p>EXPIREAGE specifies the time in seconds from the current | |
47 | time to determine if a message has expired. I.e. If the difference | |
48 | between the current time and the message time is greater | |
49 | than EXPIREAGE, the message is expired. Expired messages | |
50 | do not get added into an archive, and any archived | |
51 | expired messages will get automatically removed during | |
52 | an archive update. | |
53 | </p> | |
54 | ||
55 | <p>EXPIREAGE is specified in seconds. The following table | |
56 | shows common time periods in seconds: | |
57 | </p> | |

106 | <h2>Examples</h2> | |
107 | ||
108 | <p>EXPIREAGE is useful for "message from the last ..." archives. | |
109 | For example, if you are archiving a mailing list with much traffic, | |
110 | you may want to have an archive that shows only messages from the | |
111 | last 7 days (week). Set set EXPIREAGE as follows: </p> | |
112 | ||
113 | <pre> | |
114 | <b><ExpireAge></b> | |
115 | 604800 | |
116 | <b></ExpireAge></b> | |
117 | </pre> | |
