At my site here I take in a major newsfeed from several sites and feed several other leaf nodes news as well. They in turn feed me their postings to me for passage onto the net. Getting their postings onto the net has turned into a problem for me since it would seem that in order for me to send their postings along to the net I would have to send ALL of the articles for a particular group that I receive to my feed sites. No? In simpler terms: How can I direct postings from a leaf site directly to the system/togo file for outgoing batching WITHOUT sending the entire group to a site? I can save a trememdous amount of transmission time if there is a way to do this. Thanks very much. -- Michael R.

I think something like this in your sys file would do pretty much what you want. Make sure you understand your news flow before using it. majorsite:whatever:L2:uux - majorsite!rnews -- Jon Zeeff zeeff@b-tech.ann-arbor.mi.us or b-tech!zeeff
