Hi Mauricio,

What address do you want your reports sent to?  This is specified in 
~news/lib/innshellvars.

Edit the line in ~news/lib/innshellvars that starts with
NEWSMASTER=
to specify the address you want stuff sent to.  For your own address, 
change the line to read:
NEWSMASTER=msteixeira at fazenda.sp.gov.br

Or, you can edit the /etc/aliases file on the news server to include
usenet: msteixeira at fazenda.sp.gov.br
then run 'newaliases'.

The content of the expire message you sent shows that expire *did* 
run okay, just very quickly since there's so few articles in there 
right now.

Best regards,
Kev
