[news.admin] How to filter ctl msgs from news->mail gateway?

bob@acornrc.UUCP (Bob Weissman) (12/02/87)

I have a couple of users to whom I send a couple of newsgroups via mail.
The problem is that they also receive control messages for the newsgroups.
Is there any way to filter these out?  I've tried adding ,!group.ctl to
the sys file lines, but this doesn't seem to work.

Relevant sys lines:

# Send comp.lang.modula2 to Joe User via mail
joe:world,local,!local.all,comp.lang.modula2,!comp.lang.modula2.ctl::\
/usr/lib/sendmail -odb -oeq -oi -oo JUser
#
# Send official 4bsd bug fixes to Max User via mail
max:world,comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes,!comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes.ctl::\
/usr/lib/sendmail -odb -oeq -oi -oo MUser

Thanks for any help.
