Just a reminder to the people who read the newsgroup. Can.canet.d is moderated, and the moderator address was included in the control message that was sent out to create the group. It'll be important for the local news administrator to make sure that the moderator address is properly set up, otherwise the default action is to mail posted articles to uunet. We don't necessarily wish to rely on uunet for moderated can.* groups, now do we? So please check to make sure that the moderator for can.canet.d is in fact canet-d@canet.ca and the live person alias is canet-d-request@canet.ca. Regards, Tom Molnar

# In keeping with the tradition of forming mailpaths files, should this # note be # can-canet-d # where the periods are replaced by dashes? The newsgroup creation was preceeded by the formation of the list itself. That convention is one originated by uunet -- we tend to maintain our own mailpaths file, and of 300 or so entries, less than 10 follow that convention. Uunet merely redirects news-group-name to the appropriate moderator. Since news administrators usually have to manually override the uunet default, the address of the moderator shouldn't be of particular importance.
