Rules Editor General Tab

Use the GENERAL Tab to set the newsgroup(s) to which the rule will apply, and the expiration, if any.

Newsgroups
Specifies the target Newsgroup(s) for the rule. The options are:

·      Rule applies to all newsgroups (global).

·      Wildcard specification. Specify multiple groups matching the criteria; e.g., alt.binaries.*  or comp.*

·      Specific newsgroups. If you select this, you can add group to the right pane.
Expiration
Select whether you want the rule to never expire, or the number of days when it should be disabled, if there is no rule activity.
