# You must get the EXCLUDE parameter correct, to do this: # Use a reader or telnet to get a message from the site you feed from, # look at the PATH header record and see what name that site is stamping # it's messages with, then put that name in place of 'FEEDER.OTHER.NAME' # if it is different from the feeder's ip name as defined in news.conf # # File format: # BUILTIN means the internal nntp feed is used # POSTING means to use 'POST' instead of IHAVE to send messages up stream. # EXCLUDE sitename Stops items from going to that site again. # POSTING is best for LEAF sites (where you don't feed to any other sites) # a POSTING site can have leaf sites but it can't accept IHAVE messages from # them, only POST messages. # # Two special site names, me and $NNTP_FEEDER (from news.conf) # # The exclude command can take a list, e.g. # exclude feed1.site,feed2.site site me groups comp.*,microsoft.*,!*.binaries.*,vmsnet.*,relcom.*,ru.*,su.* site $NNTP_FEEDER groups comp.*,!*.binaries.*,vmsnet.*,relcom.*,ru.*,su.* builtin posting #site cc.denison.edu # groups comp.*,!*.binaries.*,vmsnet.*,relcom.*,ru.*,su.* # builtin site cc.owu.edu groups comp.*,!*.binaries.*,vmsnet.*,relcom.*,ru.*,su.* builtin posting site msnews.microsoft.com groups microsoft.* builtin posting site afp76.humc.edu groups vmsnet.* builtin posting site news.cc.geneseo.edu groups vmsnet.* builtin posting site AVSRVR-1.CR.USGS.GOV groups vmsnet.* builtin posting # On VMS if the system is NOT running using the POSTING mechanism to feed # up stream then you need to define this next part to allow the mail gateway # to work, this is what sends MODERATED messages. # # This is really the mail gateway, but it works a bit like a feed, the article # selection is carried out elsewhere so only the SMTP parameter is needed. # see moderators.conf #site tui.marc.cri.nz # smtp
