- This depends on your site's configuration. Strictly speaking,
- they are not "auto-deleted", they are "expired". You can have
- some influence by including an "Expires:" line in your post -
- but this is only *advisory*. Many sites set a blanket limit
- (on alt groups especially) of only a few days.

-
- Not in alt.prose, only in groups marked "Moderated"
-
- For more info, see the news.newusers group (and FAQ).
