As some of you are probably aware by now, about 15 or so newgroup messages
accidentally escaped my site, servalan. I've been setting up C news on my
site, and created locally (or so I thought) the newsgroups with
"inews -C newsgroup -d local". As you all can see, inews cheerfully put
"Distribution: local" in the body instead of the header, making a local
newgroup global. The messages sent out were for the following newsgroups:
rec.music.misc
rec.music.folk
rec.music.dementia
rec.music.cd
rec.music.bluenote
rec.music.newage
rec.music.synth
rec.music.gaffa
comp.sys.mac
comp.unix.aux
ok.general
ok.announce
ok.test
ecn.general
Kindly ignore the ok.* and ecn.* groups, as most of you shouldn't be getting
those groups.
Sorry, guys. I really did think this stuff wouldn't go anywhere past my
machine. I definitely need to look at the C News "inews" shell script to
see what is going on....
