There are some "pseudo-sites" in general use that can ## be listed as exclusions to reject specific types of 3rd-party cancel ## messages (see the "Cancel FAQ" in news.admin.net-abuse.usenet): ## ## cyberspam Cancels for spam, munged articles, binaries ## spewcancel Cancels for munged articles and runaway gateways ## bincancel Cancels for binary postings to non-binary groups ## udpcancel Cancels to force sites to enforce antispam policies ## ## The "pattern" field for this feed entry gives the initial subscription ## list for all other feeds specified in this file. These patterns are ## *prepended* to all other feed patterns. Using this feature is ## confusing and mildly discouraged; make sure you understand the man ## page before using it. ## ## "/distrib" for this feed entry specifies what distributions the server ## will accept. If any distributions are listed there, the server will ## accept only articles with those distributions. If all the ## distributions listed are negated (starting with !), then the server ## will only accept articles without those distributions. ## ## For the ME line (and the ME line *only*), patterns affect *outgoing* ## feeds and distributions affect *incoming* feeds (including local posts). # Empty default subscription list, reject all incoming articles (including # locally posted articles) with a distribution of "local" or # "collabra-internal", accept all others. ME:!*/!local,!collabra-internal:: # The same as the above, but would reject all posts that have # news.example.com in the path (posts passing through that site). #ME/news.example.com:!*/!local,!collabra-internal:: # The special feed that handles all newsgroup control messages. Only # disable this if you want to ignore all newsgroup control messages; INN # no longer handles any control messages except cancel internally. controlchan!\ :!*,control,control.*,!control.cancel\ :AC,Tc,Wnsm:/usr/bin/controlchan ## Uncomment if you're using innfeed. This feed tells INN how to run ## innfeed, and then every site you're feeding with innfeed has a ## flag of Tm and an argument of "innfeed!" to funnel into this feed. ## The feed pattern for innfeed should *always* be "!*"; don't ever ## feed articles directly into innfeed. ## ## Add "-y" as an option to innfeed to use the name of each feed as the ## name of the host to feed articles to; without "-y" an innfeed.conf ## file is needed. # innfeed funnel master. #innfeed!\ # :!*\ # :Tc,Wnm*:/usr/bin/innfeed ## Only uncomment this feed if both enableoverview and useoverchan are ## set to true in inn.conf. By default, innd will write out overview ## internally and doesn't need or want this feed, but useoverchan can ## optionally be set to true and this feed uncommented to move those ## operations out of innd's main loop. # News overview. #overview!:*:Tc,WnteO:/usr/bin/overchan ## OUTGOING NORMAL FEED EXAMPLES # A real-time feed through innfeed. Don't send articles with a distribution # of "foo", since those articles are internal. # Note that control messages will be sent even though "!control,!control.*" # is specified. It is useful not to forget that pattern since control # messages for local.* would still be sent with "*,@local.*" only. #news.uu.net/uunet\ # :*,!junk,!control,!control.*/!foo\ # :Tm:innfeed! # Create a batch file in /var/spool/news/outgoing for all articles # that haven't already passed through nic.near.net. The batch file will # be named nic.near.net, the default file name, and either nntpsend or # send-nntp can send articles from that spool file. #nic.near.net\ # :*,!junk,!control,!control.*/!foo\ # :Tf,Wnm: # A UUCP feed, where we try to keep the "batching" between 4 KB and 1 KB. # You can use send-uucp(8) to process these batch files. #ihnp4\ # :*,!junk,!control,!control.*/!foo\ # :Tf,Wnb,B4096/1024: ## OUTGOING SPECIAL FEED EXAMPLES # Accumulate Path: header statistics.

Similar to innfeed, this uses a master feed and # then individual feeds for every separate address that news is being # gated to. This sends all posts to rec.pets.red-ants to the address # listed in /etc/news/news2mail.cf for list-big-red-ants. # Posts from the domain list owner are excluded (path for that example: # lists.ucsd.edu). #news2mail!:!*:Ac,Tc,Wn*:/usr/bin/news2mail #list-big-red-ants/lists.ucsd.edu:!*,rec.pets.red-ants:Ap,Tm:news2mail! # Capture all local postings (with a distribution of "foo" and no more # than two sites in the Path: header) using a local program (that doesn't # come with INN). #capture!\ # :*/foo\ # :Tp,H2:/usr/local/bin/capture %s
