| Subject: (4.11) Introduction to the "newsfeeds" file |
|---|
Outgoing news is controlled by the "newsfeeds" file. The INN 1.2 man page for this file is a bit complex. The man page in 1.3 (and beyond) gives better examples. Here's a "cookbook" of examples that should cover most of your needs. Debugging tips are also included. Always remember that newsfeeds uses "wildmat" matches, not the semi-regular expressions that C news uses. This means that if you want to get comp.foo and the subgroups under it (comp.foo.bar, comp.foo.baz, etc.) you have to use a statement like: comp.foo,comp.foo.*OR comp.foo*BUT NOT comp.foo.*However, "comp.foo*" will match "comp.foobar", as well as "comp.foo.bang". ------------------------------ [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/08/26 01:26:21 $ $Revision: 2.19 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.] |
