Message-ID: Date: 14 Dec 89 16:00:00 GMT Sender: ANU-NEWS Discussion Reply-To: "Tom Limoncelli @ Drew University" Lines: 37 Original_To: ANUNEWS Yea! Bum da ta bum! Aaaaaaanouncing: Drew University is finally on Usenet! Our map entry was accepted and will be hitting comp.mail.maps quite soon. We are drew.uucp. We are running VMS 5.2, ANU NEWS 5.9B, DECUS UUCP latest version. We've been running NEWS locally here for over a year, and I've become sort of an expert. Alas, now that we're getting a full newsfeed from Rutgers, I have become a beginner again. Questions: I don't want to CREATE NEWSGROUP for every newsgroup that exists. I am accepting newsgroups with ADD FILE/CREGRP but I'm getting a lot of bogus newsgroups (mostly local groups for other sites due to cross-posting.). That is, someone posts to misc.forsale,ba.forsale and it creates a ba.forsale newsgroup... and we're no where near the Bay Area. How does one deal with this? I have been adding "!ba" to my news.sys file but they still get created. Do I have to reboot between modifications to news.sys 1/2 :-) ? -Tom P.S. Who manages the ANUNEWS listserv on the Bitnet side?
