But it is not meant to ! If you wander around a bit, you will find
`upact' (a shell script) or `updatemin' (compiled c prog) in
/usr/lib/newsbin/expire. Kick one of these off via cron, and it will
update the `lowest article number' field in `active'.
updatemin is much faster.
`relaynews' updates the `highest article number' field....
