[news.admin] Sending articles without Distribution field

tombre@crin.crin.fr (Karl Tombre) (09/03/87)

I have a problem with forwarding of news to another site :

Our main newsfeed is inria in Paris; they send us everything. Here in France
we have some fnet groups specific for France. As there are french speaking
people in Belgium too, we feed the backbone in Belgium, prlb2 in Brussels,
with the fnet groups. But they get their other news from the European
backbone in Amsterdam.

Now the problem is that when somebody posts an article in an fnet group
without any distribution field, it comes to our site but it isn't forwarded
to prlb2. I may have missed something in the sys file, but don't know what.
Here is our sys file :

crin:control,mod,net,eunet,fnet,comp,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,misc,\
     alt,inet,crin,world,to::
inria:net,mod,fnet,eunet,comp,sci,news,rec,soc,talk,misc,alt,inet,\
     world,to.inria::
prlb2:fnet,to.prlb2:F:/usr/spool/news/batched/prlb2

(\ + line feeds added in this posting only).

What is missing ? Thanks in advance,
