[news.software.b] Incoming news mailed to comp-ai-neural-nets, why?

jye@usna.navy.mil (Jean Y. Edgar (CADIG STAFF) <jye@usna.navy.mil>) (01/08/91)

This is the second time I've tried to post this.  My apologies
if you see this more than once.

Our news feed comes from UUNET via uucp.  We are running Bnews.
Upon arrival, articles in the newsgroup comp.ai.neural-nets are
being *mailed* to comp-ai-neural-nets for some reason, an email
address that we don't have.  comp.ai.neural-nets is in the active
file and in the newsgroups file.  comp.ai.neural-nets is the only
newsgroup that's affected.  Why does this happen?  Anyone have
any ideas?  Please respond to jye@usna.navy.mil and I will
summarize if anyone else is interested.

I had comp.ai.neural-nets marked as moderated in the active file and
I also didn't have mailpaths set up correctly.  Thank you all!
