[news.groups] Wayward Moderated Postings

robin@bnrmtv.UUCP (Robin Coutellier) (01/11/89)

We keep getting postings that are submissions to the comp.os.os9 group.
When it gets to our system, attempts to mail it to userid "comp-os-os9"
are, of course, denied, and the messages get routed to me.  When I
tried to post a message to the moderator, it was simply routed back to
me.

Why is this happening?  There is a file in our news directory called
"moderators", but it only has 2 names in it and has not been updated
since 1985.

comp.os.os9 is not a moderated group.  Check your active file and
see if it is marked with an "m" in the last field.  If so, change
it to a "y" instead.
