[news.software.b] Cnews - How do I exclude other sites from posting, yet enable local posting?

I have multiple feeds. For a variety of reasons, I don't (and they don't) want
me to forward news from other sites. This is easily done with the exclusions
field of the Cnews sys file.

Now, one site says, can you feed me just soc.*.

It seems the answer is no. You take everything, or I loose my ability
to propogate news through your site, even though you don't keep that
group locally.


Is there any way around this?

It was:
dsinet/ole,quick:alt,bionet,gnu,opinions,or,pdx,pubnet,u3b,unix-pc,usrgrp,comp,misc,news,pnw,rec,sci,seattle,soc,talk,to.dsinet/all:f:

I can post through them, and other feeds don't propogate to them.

Now its:
dsinet:alt,bionet,gnu,opinions,or,pdx,pubnet,u3b,unix-pc,usrgrp,comp,misc,news,pnw,rec,sci,seattle,soc,talk,to.dsinet/all:f:

And they get everything. They just discard what they don't want.


I saw someone mention multiple entries for the same site... this may be a
solution:
dsinet/ole,quick:alt,bionet,gnu,opinions,or,pdx,pubnet,u3b,unix-pc,usrgrp,comp,misc,news,pnw,rec,sci,seattle,talk,to.dsinet/all:f:
dsinet:soc/all:f:
