Please elaborate. What would "proper handling" entail? You're talking about situations of crosspostings to a bit group and some other (non-moderated) group? Question: If someone crossposts to bit.a and comp.b and the posting gets sent as email to the moderator of bit.a with a "Newsgroups: bit.a,comp.b" line, will Listserv preserve that line? If so, then the article would hit Netnews just once and get added to both groups at the same time. >Another problem with the gatewaying as it's set up now is that >there doesn't seem to be a current list of all of the bit groups, >information on them, and where messages to the group need to be >sent to. I have a such a list. It is available from LISTSERV at PSUVM with GET NETNEWS MODERATO and GET NETNEWS DESCRIBE. I could post a checkgroups if that would help. I don't see anything in the RFC on how moderators should be listed in the checkgroups, though.
