| Subject: (4.15) Cookbook example of an outgoing UUCP feed: |
|---|
Example: A site named "plts" that can not get the "clari" newsgroups or distribution "warren". Add the following to the newsfeeds file: plts:*,!clari.*,!junk*,!control*/!warren:Tf,Wnb:Add the following to the cron tab (as user "news"): 0 0-5,16-23 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/news/bin/sendbatch -c plts >/dev/null 2>&1NOTE: I know that "plts" is unique and won't conflict with some other site named "plts" because it is registered in the UUCP Maps (see comp.mail.maps). If your feeder is sending you netnews via UUCP (which is usually the case, since it isn't useful to just feed articles and not receive any) you must configure your UUCP to allow the remote system to execute rnews. Your UUCP documentation should tell you how to set up a UUCP connection and how to change the allowed commands. That means that uucico will execute /bin/rnews on every incoming batch. INN comes with a perfectly serviceable "rnews" program that can handle all the standard batched and compressed news formats. The INN rnews will uncompress and unbatch as necessary and then pass each article to innd for processing.
