My mailpaths file is totally empty and I know that
my active file has certain moderated newsgroups
marked as unmoderated.
Where can I get the latest and greatest mailpaths info
and also a latest list of moderated groups.
Thanks...
Mark

Oh now!!! You don't need it; you won't want it either... The mailpaths file is maintained at the large backbone sites: they know all about the latest aliases for the moderated groups. *Your* mailpaths files should only contain two lines (assuming you're running B news 2.11.x): one line containing the word "internet" and a "printf" like path to the nearest machine that understands Internet email addresses. one line containing the word "backbone" also followed by a "printf" like path to your nearest backbone site that maintains a full list of aliases. This is what I have: we understand Internet mail address ourselves and our nearest backbone is "hp4nl.nluug.nl". So it becomes: backbone %s@hp4nl.nluug.nl internet %s good luck, --[ Edwin ]-- -- Edwin Kremer (SysAdm), Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University Padualaan 14, P.O.
