Subject: (7.9) Why am I forwarding cancel messages for articles in comp.foo when I explicitly have !comp.foo in the newsfeeds entry?
Control messages can be explicitly forwarded, so a control message to comp.foo is forwarded to sites that receive either comp.foo or control. Please see the "Control Messages" section of innd.8. As that documentation says, you probably want to put "!control" in the subscription list for most of your newsfeeds. ------------------------------ [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.]
