Hello world, Since some short time we a running CNews, only locally for the moment, but with an external feed soon. We have defined some local groups of which I would like some to be moderated. I have got some questions about how to achieve this. How do I tell who is the moderator? And how can this moderator do a posting to the newsgroup without getting told it is moderated? Does a posting to this moderated newsgroup get mailed to the moderator automatically? Any help would be very much appreciated. Please reply by email.

How do I tell who is the moderator? [Using C News.]
You add it to your $NEWSCTL/mailpaths file, translating '.'s to '-'s.
Read spaf's recent posting in news.admin, "How to Construct the
Mailpaths File". If it is already absent from your site, I will send
you a copy on request. You might just want to add just a general
hierarchy pattern, like the following for example, rather than one for
each newsgroup:
rpi %s@rpi.edu
And how can this moderator do a posting to the newsgroup without
getting told it is moderated?
By adding an "Approved: moderator@address" header.
Does a posting to this moderated newsgroup get mailed to the
moderator automatically?
It should be mailed only from the point of posting; this is how it
works with C News.
Please reply by email.
Other people ask, so I am posting too.
Dave
