Sat Sep 6 12:43:07 CDT 1997 Technical details. For INN ------- To avoid taking unsound articles from non U2 neighbors you have to add "!net.*" for each non U2 site in you hosts.nntp: usenet2.feed.site:: unsound.feed.site::!net.* (all versions of INN up to and including INN 1.6b3 have a feature which will make you miss valid postings that are offered from an unsound site before a sound site offer your the posting if you have inn configured with REMEMBER_TRASH DO, there is a small patch for this in the file "inn.remembertrash.patch.txt") To limit the unsound messages sendt from your system you can run the net.monitor, which will cancel unsound messages, have special fixes to your news-server wich will make it harder for your users to spam. Another simple messure is to add "Ad" to the feed enty for you U2 feeds: usenet2.feed.site:!*,net.*:Tc,Ad,Wnm:feedprog If you also send none U2 groups to a usenet2 peer you need another entry for those. Add to moderators: net.*:moderator-%s@usenet2.org Add to distrib.pats: 90:net.*:4gh Add to control.ctl: newgroup:control@usenet2.org:net.*:verify-control@usenet2.org rmgroup:control@usenet2.org:net.*:verify-control@usenet2.org checkgroups:control@usenet2.org:net.*:verify-control@usenet2.org If you don't have the ability to accept PGP-signed control messages: newgroup:control@usenet2.org:net.*:doit=newgroup rmgroup:control@usenet2.org:net.*:mail checkgroups:control@usenet2.org:net.*:mail Please verify the control message with the list of net-groups at http://www.usenet2.org/checkgroups.txt All group administrative control messages will be signed with control@usenet2.org's key: -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.2 mQCNAzPZEIQAAAEEAKuy+mro1ThpP0nGygiXRQs0nc3I63FeYz9UCfwJAzXQkiT+ 9Yj7BtJn/+BqcLjdX7Z9qs0YNRZ7Q5IXr76x82wbKsNSCnO+tJaOWOD0KoANjy9P +wzp/g9ge487HfRnmzhtiHZa4PvE1bV+/LEp2pDp0nYq5v8ox+/CdBG5NbG9AAUR tBNjb250cm9sQHVzZW5ldDIub3JniQCVAwUQNA6Sau/CdBG5NbG9AQHBrgQAhC24 8jyPuReG5KUvRbtiNq3f8bRDMoWLWxjfbl/8QkP39kiKEtUUEpRtHvu8HnkIsRew WC3cry+DCKWiLGcsSvlIe5SgNfDALpel92on1s2dyYApHtmMAne9L6OpMVbqs9I9 2twblFEY3Qug5UOc3WZthNVv9EZ2VI6ICG0U+wiJAJUDBRAz2RbTKFOLDT23eyEB ASN9A/9s49/Bckh0UDYSwVukvdTMUE+cVO4/rAd0pILhEpCgHBmeqg+Uca2ua3b/ hswjK8AJYjc3F+n4L/BbcXOLeMWQI/QokCoSksKMoMGkHV3S3F8nB52v+TLbwkKa 6maWAryax2qpyoYQH75v4SVlHjDhis72KvcbjzDppdA32VHtOA== =fKKj -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
