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. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jaye Mathisen,systems manager Internet: icsu6000@caesar.cs.montana.edu| | 410 Roberts Hall BITNET: icsu6000@mtsunix1.bitnet | | Dept. of Computer Science |
