Read the article with Subject: How to Create a New Usenet Newsgroup
periodically posted in news.answers, news.admin, news.groups,
news.announce.newgroups, and a few others.  If it's expired at your
site, you can get it via anonymous ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in
/pub/usenet/news.answers/creating-newsgroups/part1 .

If you don't have ftp, send mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu
with message
send usenet/news.answers/creating-newsgroups/part1

Send message `help' for more info about the mail-server.

like the title says...
As far as I understand, ftp requires that you have an account
on both the sending and receiving machines. Is there anything
similar that allows you to tranfer files between two users
at two sites?
Or- Is it possible to PUT files onto anonymous ftp sites temporarily?
If so, what is the polite way to go about it (ie- what directories
should files go in, should they be deleted...)?

  Is it possible to AreaFix News Groups? At the moment we have to write our

ones we want to dis-connect from. 

  Is there a way to automatically do this like in FidoNet or does it have
to be done manually?

I nominate this for the n.n.q. "official motto."  :-)

Until we achieve Utopia and have one universal computer with one operating 
system and one set of programs, things will always "be different."  For 
example, Susan, I do not have any of the programs you mentioned.  I don't
have any enews file.  My save routine is different.  I'm sure I have 
a different operating system than you do.

Different machines have different programs and different ways of doing things.
Amazingly, many of them manage to get articles posted to Usenet, so it may
appear that everyone is using the same things.  It's just not true.  That is
why we continually try to encourage people to post details about their 
situation.  You cannot make any assumptions about the machine at the other 
end of the wire.

A moderated is a group that someone filters through all the posts first before
posting. The moderator gets sent anything posted to the group, and then
reposts the articles after reviewing them generally. Most news software will
send you email or something to that effect telling you this.

NNTP-Posting-Host: athene.cs.tu-berlin.de

Dear Netters,

I use both mail (mailx) and elm regularly and I think
I am proficient enough to customize them through changing
the ".mailrc" or writing scripts.

Here are my questions:

1. How can I automate my mail program (either of them is 
   fine) to automatically send me a blind carbon copy (bcc:) 
   of each mail I sent out?

2. How can I cancel and copy (while the mail is still in queue
   of my file system) the mail I've sent out (say just 30 seconds 
   ago)? 

As of to date, I had to manually issue a command to instruct
it to do so through, for instance "~b" in mail. And for the
second question, I was able to access mails that was sent to
me by scanning through "/etc/spool/mail" and matching with my
user id.

I'd appreciate your response. Please send e-mail to me.

Edwin

I suggested to suelynn@clair.berkeley.edu that she might try a mailing
list first... I'm not sure if there would be enough users to support
the newsgroup she has in mind, and mailing lists can be started without
asking anyone other than the local sysadmin, if the traffic makes a
newsgroup necessary, by that time, ... that's probably 6 months anyway.

Using a different name is done by changing the init file.
Read all about it in the FAQ about NN to be found in news.answers.
By the way, there is a news group about NN: "news.software.nn".

You're free to post to most groups.  As soon as you post an article
anyone at your local site can read it, and it's sent to the outside
world as soon as your site normally gets around to sending out news.

Moderated groups are different.  Every article needs to be approved by
a moderator before it gets posted.  Your news reader software knows
what groups are moderated.  If you try to post to a moderated group the
newsreader will instead mail the article to the moderator for
approval.  If the moderator approves, he'll post it himself for the
world to see.

Groups are moderated for various reasons.  The most common reason is to
keep postings to the group relevant.  The moderator is supposed to weed
out any posts which don't really pertain to the subject at hand.  In
reality most articles are accepted by the moderators, because just the
thought of someone giving their stamp of approval is enough to keep
most posters on track.

My smiley program (containing the largest and most comprehensive

Or, wait for my smiley book, to be published by O'Reilly this spring.
