For no good reason that *I* can figure, INN is rejecting all posts with
a distribution of "world".  I believe I've specifically configured things
to accept any and all distributions, so the "unwanted distribution"
messages are really starting to bother me!

If anyone can help, please send email.  My newsfeed, for obvious reasons,
may be unreliable.  :(

That you never fed it anywhere because *your* system rejected it.  Look
in /usr/lib/news/log (or log.o, since by the time you get the
notification it's yesterday's news).  (At least under C News, which you
appear to be running from your Message-ID and the notification message,
which I recognize...)

You might also look in ~news/dead.article.

Yes.  There are minor awkwardnesses like arranging suitable pathnames and

but nothing that news does requires magical system powers.

  Then, may be your problem is not to add, but to receive.
Check with your neighbours, it seems that they are not sending
you this newsgroup!. Or may be the newsgroup is dead (changed?).

It is sufficient to run addgroup (C News) to add a group, but also
there must be someone that send it to you.

It would help if you included your "ME" line here.  Basically, if this
is what you really want to do, your ME line should be:

ME:!*::

However, if you are giving a list of specific Distributions that you
want to accept, remember that "world" is not accepted automatically.
This is a myth which began with an old version of netnews software that
did this.  INN and C news do not do this.

We are vehemently, nay violently, opposed to ever rewriting headers in
any circumstances whatsoever.  It's soooo easy to do more harm than good.
We also don't think it's that big a favor to people to helpfully fix up
their misposted articles without any feedback to them.

No question.  He's both.

Now that Cnews and INN both support configurable control handling,
maybe the default file distributed should use tygra as an example for
not acting on anything sent from that site.

Mind you, he'll just change the site name *again* as he often does to
invalidate killfiles with him in it.

No it does not mean that at all.  Please read doc/newsfeeds.5.  In
INN the active file is the definitive list of newsgroups that the site
receives.  The ME line in the newsfeeds file
	1.  Specifies the initial subscription list for all feeds
	2.  Specifies what incoming distributions are valid
Many people find it confusing that both concepts (outgoing sub and incoming
distributions) appear in a single entry.

Hello Chaps,
 
Just a quick request if I may. Can someone who has some ascii art on 
their machine drop me an email of it. As you are aware it is soon Xmas
and the ascii pictures are flying here on the banks network and I would
like to send some Xmas ascii pics.
 
Kind regards

The vast majority of the reponses I have received concerning the creation
of the courts hierarchy have been favorable.  The one major objection is that
it should not be carried globally.  So with that said, I hearby announce that
I am creating the following groups LOCALLY!  If any of the systems we exchange
news with wish us to send the hierarchy to you please let me know. (and add
"courts" to your sys/newsfeeds file.  If anyone else would like to receive
the courts hierarchy please ask your neighbors if they plan on getting it
before sending me hundreds of newsfeed requests. :)

I will issue newgroup commands for the following groups sometime tomorrow
(Dec 15th):

	courts.usa.config
	courts.usa.federal.supreme
	courts.usa.state.ohio.config
	courts.usa.state.ohio.supreme
	courts.usa.state.ohio.appls-8th

NOTE:  I will be issuing the newgroup commands within the courts hierarchy
so unless you have "courts" in your sys/newsfeed file you will NOT see
anything.  And even if you DO have it unless your feed get the courts
hierarchy and forwards it to you you will not see it.

All newsgroups (except the .config groups) will be moderated and limited
to rulings from the court assigned to the newsgroup.  CWRU will maintain
the moderators list for the courts hierarchy (so add "courts usenet.cwru.edu"
to your mailpaths file if you plan on getting the groups)
