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

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, 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

1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to

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

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

[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. 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:
...!{decvax,philabs}!bunker
...!{clyde,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd
...!{seismo,topaz}!columbia!cucca!cu20b

"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:

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@arthur.cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford) (10/01/87)
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

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 13 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. 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

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@uther.cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford) (11/16/87)
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

To post to a moderated group, write your article and mail it to the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (01/16/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 11 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.
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,sdcsvax,uw-beaver,watmath}!site.arpa!address

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (03/02/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 29 February 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

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 2 April 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@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

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

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
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

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

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

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (12/31/88)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 29 December 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

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 6 March 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

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (05/15/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 14 May 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

Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 21 Jul 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

Internet: spaf@cs.purdue.edu uucp: ...!{decwrl,gatech,ucbvax}!purdue!spafspaf@cs.purdue.EDU (Gene Spafford) (10/17/89)
Original-from: Gene Spafford (spaf@cs.purdue.edu)
[Most recent change: 16 Oct 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
