usenet@gatech.UUCP (12/16/86)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 15 December 1986 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include mod.sources. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod" group on Usenet, and the Internet list. Some of these groups do not actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to both networks. To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{akgua,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,seismo}!cuae2 ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo!umcp-cs ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cuae2.att.com == cuae2.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mimsy.umd.edu == umcp-cs.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 December 1986 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mod.ai Kenneth Laws ailist-request@sri-ai.arpa mod.amiga Bob Page page@ulowell.edu mod.amiga.binaries Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.amiga.sources Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.announce Mark Horton mark@cbosgd.att.com mod.announce.newusers Gene Spafford spaf@gatech.edu mod.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp mod.comp-soc Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com mod.computers (none currently) mod.computers.68k Mike Meyer info-68k-request@ucbvax.berkeley.edu mod.computers.apollo Luis F.

In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include mod.sources. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod" group on Usenet, and the Internet list. Some of these groups do not actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to both networks. To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{akgua,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,seismo}!cuae2 ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo!umcp-cs ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cuae2.att.com == cuae2.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mimsy.umd.edu == umcp-cs.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 January 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mod.ai Kenneth Laws ailist-request@sri-ai.arpa mod.amiga Bob Page page@ulowell.edu mod.amiga.binaries Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.amiga.sources Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.announce Mark Horton mark@cbosgd.att.com mod.announce.newusers Gene Spafford spaf@gatech.edu mod.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp mod.comp-soc Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com mod.computers (none currently) mod.computers.68k Mike Meyer info-68k-request@ucbvax.berkeley.edu mod.computers.apollo Luis F.

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 13 January 1987 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include mod.sources. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod" group on Usenet, and the Internet list. Some of these groups do not actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to both networks. To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{akgua,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,seismo}!cuae2 ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo!umcp-cs ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cuae2.att.com == cuae2.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mimsy.umd.edu == umcp-cs.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 February 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mod.ai Kenneth Laws ailist-request@sri-ai.arpa mod.amiga Bob Page page@ulowell.edu mod.amiga.binaries Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.amiga.sources Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.announce Mark Horton mark@cbosgd.att.com mod.announce.newusers Gene Spafford spaf@gatech.edu mod.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp mod.comp-soc Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com mod.computers (none currently) mod.computers.68k Mike Meyer info-68k-request@ucbvax.berkeley.edu mod.computers.apollo Luis F.

usenet@gatech.EDU (03/16/87)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 15 March 1987 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include mod.sources. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod" group on Usenet, and the Internet list. Some of these groups do not actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to both networks. To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{akgua,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,seismo}!cuae2 ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{decwrl,sun,ucbvax}!imagen ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cuae2.att.com == cuae2.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 March 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ mod.ai Kenneth Laws ailist-request@sri-ai.arpa mod.amiga Bob Page page@ulowell.edu mod.amiga.binaries Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.amiga.sources Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu mod.announce Mark Horton mark@cbosgd.att.com mod.announce.newusers Gene Spafford spaf@gatech.edu mod.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp mod.comp-soc Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com mod.computers (none currently) mod.computers.68k Mike Meyer info-68k-request@ucbvax.berkeley.edu mod.computers.apollo Luis F.

usenet@gatech.edu (05/03/87)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 1 May 1987 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path. Thus, to submit an article to the comp.protocols.appletalk group, for example, mail it to: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{decwrl,sun,ucbvax}!imagen ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 3 May 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.binaries.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu comp.doc Ron Natalie archive-request@brl.arpa comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.elm Dave Taylor elm-info-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{decwrl,sun,ucbvax}!imagen ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{akgua,cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 17 May 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.binaries.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Ron Natalie archive-request@brl.arpa comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.elm Dave Taylor elm-info-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{clyde,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus,seismo}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,seismo,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{decwrl,sun,ucbvax}!imagen ...!{ihnp4,qantel,seismo,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie,seismo}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus,seismo}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!seismo!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,seismo}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!seismo ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!seismo!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,seismo}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs,seismo}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4,seismo}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp seismo.css.gov == seismo.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 18 June 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.binaries.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.binaries.ibm.pc Brandon Allbery comp-binaries-ibm-pc-request@ncoast.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Ron Natalie archive-request@brl.arpa comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.elm Dave Taylor elm-info-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@gatech.edu) [Most recent change: 17 June 1987 by spaf@gatech.edu] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population.

To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!topaz!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{clyde,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{decwrl,sun,ucbvax}!imagen ...!{ihnp4,qantel,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 15 September 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.binaries.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.binaries.ibm.pc Brandon Allbery comp-binaries-ibm-pc-request@ncoast.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@imagen.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 23 September 1987 by spaf@purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list.

These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!topaz!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,ucbvax}!nsc!daisy ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{clyde,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 October 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.binaries.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.binaries.ibm.pc Brandon Allbery comp-binaries-ibm-pc-request@ncoast.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Craig Norborg amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

spaf@arthur.cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford) (11/03/87)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 31 October 1987 by spaf@purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below.

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 13 November 1987 by spaf@purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!topaz!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,ucbvax}!nsc!daisy ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{clyde,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!decvax!mandrill!hal!ncoast ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally ...!ucbvax!ucbopal ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp opal.berkeley.edu == ucbopal.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp soma.bcm.tmc.edu == soma.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 10 December 1987 by spaf@purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!topaz!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,ucbvax}!nsc!daisy ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{clyde,cbosgd,decvax,hplabs,ihnp4,linus}!gatech ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!decvax!mandrill!hal!ncoast ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally ...!uwvax!uwmacc!uwspan ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp gatech.edu == gatech.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp soma.bcm.tmc.edu == soma.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 16 December 1987 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (01/03/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 2 January 1987 by spaf@purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP address is given. Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given in the correspondence list just below. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following can be used to derive uucp mail paths: ...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker ...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd ...!topaz!columbia!cucca!cu20b ...!{cbosgd,hplabs,ihnp4,ucbvax}!nsc!daisy ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!decwrl ...!hplabs!felix ...!{decvax,gatech,ihnp4,mcnc,ucbvax}!hplabs ...!{ihnp4,lll-crg,qantel}!hoptoad ...!gatech!hubcap ...!{allegra,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,yale}!ima ...!{ihnp4,qantel,topaz}!lll-crg ...!ut-sally!im4u!milano ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4,mit-eddie}!mirror ...!{gatech,harvard,ihnp4}!mit-eddie ...!decvax!mandrill!hal!ncoast ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,linus}!philabs!nyit ...!decvax!genrad!panda --or-- ...!harvard!wjh12!panda ...!{cbosgd,ihnp4}!plus5 ...!{decvax,ihnp4}!pur-ee!pucc-j ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally!rice ...!{cbosgd,decvax,gatech,ihnp4,ucbvax}!sdcsvax ...!{allegra,mcnc,uiucdcs}!convex!smu ...!harvard!spdcc ...!soma --or-- ...!cbosgd!rice!soma ...!{cbosgd,decvax,hplabs}!sun ...!{caip,cmcl2,hplabs}!topaz ...!{apollo,masscomp,wanginst}!ulowell ...!{harvard,ihnp4}!ut-sally ...!uwvax!uwmacc!uwspan ...!{allegra,decvax,harvard}!yale Address correspondences: cbosgd.att.com == cbosgd.uucp cu20b.columbia.edu == cu20b.uucp decwrl.dec.com == decwrl.uucp eddie.mit.edu == mit-eddie.uucp hplabs.hp.com == hplabs.uucp hubcap.clemson.edu == hubcap.uucp j.cc.purdue.edu == pucc-j.uucp lll-crg.arpa == lll-crg.uucp mtgzy.att.com == mtgzy.uucp mirror.tmc.com == mirror.uucp plus5.com == plus5.uucp red.rutgers.edu == rutgers.uucp rice.edu == rice.uucp sally.utexas.edu == ut-sally.uucp sdcsvax.ucsd.edu == sdcsvax.uucp soma.bcm.tmc.edu == soma.uucp sun.com == sun.uucp topaz.rutgers.edu == topaz.uucp ulowell.edu == ulowell.uucp yale.arpa == yale.uucp yale.arpa == yalecs.bitnet Gene Spafford 2 January 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Eliot Moore telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu Jon Solomon comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@tekred.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (02/04/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 31 January 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (03/17/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 11 March 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussions in comp.std.mumps and comp.std.c fall into this category. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 17 March 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.arpa comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.binaries.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes Keith Bostic ucb-fixes-request@okeeffe.berkeley.edu comp.compilers John Levine compilers-request@ima.uucp comp.dcom.telecom Jon Solomon telecom-request@xx.lcs.mit.edu comp.doc Brian Kantor comp-doc@ucsd.edu comp.doc.techreports Lawrence Leff trlist-request@smu.uucp comp.graphics.digest Andy Cromarty info-graphics-request@ads.arpa comp.hypercube Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.lang.clu Matti Jokinen clu-sw-request@cs.utu.fi comp.laser-printers Richard Furuta laser-lovers-request@brillig.umd.edu comp.mail.maps Mark Horton postmap@cbosgd.att.com comp.newprod Ron Heiby newprod-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.org.fidonet Tim Pozar pozar@hoptoad.uucp comp.os.os9 John Daleske os9-request@cbosgd.att.com comp.os.research Darrell Long darrell@ucsd.edu comp.parallel Dennis Stevenson hypercube-request@hubcap.clemson.edu comp.protocols.kermit Frank da Cruz info-kermit-request@cu20b.columbia.edu comp.risks Peter Neumann risks-request@csl.sri.com comp.society Dave Taylor comp-soc-request@hplabs.hp.com comp.sources.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-sources-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.sources.atari.st Jim Turner atari-sources-request@daisy.uucp comp.sources.games Bill Randle games-request@saab.cna.tek.com comp.sources.mac Roger Long macintosh-request@felix.uucp comp.sources.misc Brandon S.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (05/09/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 5 May 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@att-cb.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 8 May 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Steven Grimm koreth@ssyx.ucsc.edu comp.binaries.hypercard Jan L.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (06/01/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 31 May 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@att.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby backbone site. The mail path to that backbone site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 1 June 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Steven Grimm atari-binaries@ssyx.ucsc.edu comp.binaries.hypercard Jan L.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (08/18/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 17 August 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 17 August 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Steven Grimm atari-binaries@ssyx.ucsc.edu comp.binaries.hypercard Jan L.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (10/11/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 23 August 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 10 October 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.binaries.amiga Matt Bradburn, Brent Woods, & Pat White amiga-binaries-request@j.cc.purdue.edu comp.binaries.atari.st Steven Grimm atari-binaries@ssyx.ucsc.edu comp.binaries.hypercard Jan L.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (12/04/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 20 November 1988 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and innappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 3 December 1988 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Brad Miller nl-kr-request@cs.rochester.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives T.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (01/30/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 29 January 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 30 January 1989 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Christopher Welty nl-kr-request@cs.rpi.edu comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives T.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (04/09/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 9 April 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 8 April 1989 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Christopher Welty nl-kr-request@cs.rpi.edu comp.ai.shells Bernd Bachmann shellreq@uklirb.uucp comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives T.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (06/20/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 19 June 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 19 June 1989 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Christopher Welty nl-kr-request@cs.rpi.edu comp.ai.shells Bernd Bachmann shellreq@uklirb.uucp comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives T.

spaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (09/04/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu) [Most recent change: 2 Sep 1989 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)] A number of moderated groups exist on the net. These are groups which usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the net. In general, these groups fall into one of five categories: 1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group of posters. Groups within this category include news.lists, news.announce.newusers, and comp.mail.maps. 2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that it is hard for the average reader to keep up. The moderated versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume and higher quality version of the same forum. Examples of this category include news.announce and comp.unix. 3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused. That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even within the realm of politeness for the net). This also includes groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and inappropriate followups. Moderated groups in this category include comp.sources.unix. 4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net group. The discussion in comp.std.mumps is an example of this. 5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet mailing list. These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet side but are shared with the Usenet population. Submissions mailed to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the group on Usenet, and the Internet list. This includes some groups in the "inet" distribution which are listed here for completeness: comp.ai.vision, comp.lang.clu and rec.mag.fsfnet. To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the listed SUBMISSION address. The moderator will then do the actual posting of the article. The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized articles to other sites. The only way to post to a moderated group is to mail it to the moderator. If you are running 2.11 news or later, your news software will automatically mail your article to the moderator if you attempt to post it. Thus, posting to a moderated newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except you don't see the posting right away). Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group. You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently do, if such groups exist. If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is run, contact the moderator by mail. Alternatively, you can send mail to the mailing list "moderators@purdue.edu" and it will be rebroadcast to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators. Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an article to the correct moderator. If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby well-connected site. The mail path to that site should be in your news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update a moderators file. Information on how to construct the paths in the "mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article. If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous bug fixes and other enhancements. The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form. If a site has an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP pseudo-domain address is given. If you are a UUCP-only site, you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through the gateways using a uucp-style path, e.g.: ...!{clyde,decuac,mcnc,ucsd,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address Gene Spafford 3 September 1989 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Group Moderator or Coordinator Requests, Comments, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ comp.ai.digest Kenneth Laws ailist-request@stripe.sri.com comp.ai.nlang-know-rep Christopher Welty nl-kr-request@cs.rpi.edu comp.ai.shells Bernd Bachmann shellreq@uklirb.uucp comp.ai.vision Tod Levitt vision-list-request@ads.com comp.archives T.
