In your newsfeeds entry:
ME:...
B/A:...
A:...
B/A will prevent any article having crossed thru A to be sent
to your pay-feed.
Read newsfeeds(5) for details regarding the exclusions.

You may wish to take a look at my sendbatches package (written in Perl
now) which allows this, but take care: its transport independant, ie it
will not check for the size of the UUCP queue. Feature to be added.
Anonymous ftp:
grasp.insa-lyon.fr:pub/unix/news/transport/inn/contrib/sendbatches*3*
Otherwise by editing send-batch you may find the argument passed to
batcher and raise the value.

News.daily does the expiration. A typical cron could be that:
55 * * * * /bin/rnews -U
56 4 * * * /local/news/bin/news.daily delayrm expireover
+ a regular call to sendbatches or send-uucp
+ a regular call to nntpsend for those using this transport.
