The FAQ server doesn't guarantee an exact posting interval; it posts as near
as it can to the interval you've specified.

Expires: of your FAQ is currently being set by the FAQ server to a date 21
days ahead of the posting date, so this isn't the problem. I think perhaps
what's happening is that your news server is set to expire the whole group
after only 7 days? I seem to remember we've had discussions about this in
the past.
