Hi, I've switched the storage format from cygbuf to tradspool. The new newsarticles were stored in tradspoolformat and all works fine. But every night during the expire run I can see the follwing line: Mar 21 01:16:49 news03 fastrm[30109]: SM can't cancel article with uninitialized method So I stopped the server delete the histroy database and the overview tree and recreated it with "makehistory -O -F" and "makedbz -s `cat history | wc -l` -o. The server is up and worked well, but the message comes over and over again. Does anybody know what is wrong here ? Thank you. -- Gruß Dieter -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.
