|
|
|
|
<P>Using ctlinnd, create the newsgroups on your news server. Remember,
|
|
these are to be local news groups, so start them with a distinctive
|
|
name so you can filter them out from your news distributions (in your
|
|
newsfeeds file).
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>You also need to tell innd that the group is moderated (by using
|
|
ctlinnd). Remember, innd is very sensitive to file ownership and
|
|
permissions, so you need to interct at this level with innd as the
|
|
news user. Indicating a moderated group is done by specifying m to the
|
|
newgroup command.

|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>The m tells innd that the group is moderated.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Edit your newsfeeds file to make sure that these local groups are not
|
|
distributed (unless you specificaly wish this to occur).
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>For example, if your mailing list is called local.site.group, then you
|
|
would probably want to add !local* to the second field of your up (and
|
|
possibly your down) stream news sites in your newsfeeds file.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Now, in order to ensure that user messages are sent to the list
|
|
automatically by innd, edit /etc/news/moderators to include a line
|
|
declaring the mailing list email address as the moderator.
