Subject: (7.8) Why doesn't this newsfeeds entry do what I want? "foo.com:alt,!alt.sex"
A newsfeeds entry is not a sys file (C News) entry. Please read newsfeeds.5. You might also find the sys2nf program in the frontends directory useful, as well as the inncheck Perl script that is found in the samples directory. The INN Configuration FAQ has cook-book examples of the steps required to install a NNTP feed, UUCP feed, and NNTP via nntplink feed. ------------------------------ [Source: INN FAQ Part 7 Archive-name: usenet/software/inn-faq/part7] [Last Changed: $Date: 1997/09/16 01:25:57 $ $Revision: 2.25 $] [Copyright: 1997 Heiko Rupp, portions by Tom Limoncelli, Rich Salz, et al.]
