[news.software.b] Mistaken for a moderated newsgroup

root@rpp386.cactus.org (Super user) (02/22/90)

Someone recently created a newsgroup here in Austin for "Important
Announcements", austin.announce.

A posting I recently made which was crossposted between news.config
and austin.announce is now generating "Moderated Newsgroup"
messages from half way around the world.

What exactly is causing this and what exactly can I do to stop
it???

Some of the news software thinks that a newsgroup name with 'announce'
in it is a moderated group.  

I would venture to guess that's what it is.  I think B news does
this, I have no idea about C news.
