I recently got a problem, with the great gnu.* renaming : Here is one line from my /usr/lib/news/aliases file : gnu.emacs gnu.emacs.announce and here the entry for gnu.emacs.announce in the active file : gnu.emacs.announce 0000007 0000001 m (as you see -- and probably know --- gnu.emacs.announce is moderated) Now, what happens when one article is posted to gnu.emacs ??? : Excerpts from the log file (I removed time stamps etc. to keep ~~ 80 columns) : <JBW.90Oct13000237@bucsf.bu.edu>^IAliased newsgroup gnu.emacs to gnu.emacs.announce /usr/bin/rnews: gnu.emacs.announce is moderated and may not be posted to directly. /usr/bin/rnews: Your article is being mailed to the moderator who will post it for you. and so on for other articles (also with gnu.g++.announce for instance). What happens ? Is this a bug of the software (I run version B 2.11.19, which should be the latest version of Bnews, isn't it ?) ??? Or is it a setup problem on our side ? Thanks in advance for any info/help. -- Karl Tombre - INRIA Lorraine / CRIN EMAIL : tombre@loria.crin.fr - POST : BP 239, 54506 VANDOEUVRE CEDEX, France

Instead of doing the sensible thing of droping an unaproved article of a moderated grop on the floor, bnews mails it off to the moderator. But an article should only mailed if it was posted locally. --jtc -- J.T. Conklin UniFax Communications Inc. ...!{uunet,ubc-cs}!van-bc!jtc, jtc@wimsey.bc.ca
