SETUP INND
Below are the files that you need to setup for INN news. I used inn-2.2.2 on my system. It is configured to install in /opt/news with the command ./configure --prefix=/opt/news during the installation of inn.

Times are based on when received unless -p is used; ## see expire.8 ## If article expires before 14 days, we still remember it for 14 days in ## case we get offered it again.

## $Revision: 1.2.4.1 $ ## Mailing addresses for moderators. ## Format: ## <newsgroup>:<pathname> ## First match found is used. ## <newsgroup> Shell-style newsgroup pattern or specific newsgroup ## <pathname> Mail address, "%s" becomes newgroup name with dots ## changed to dashes. ## Russian hierarchies fido7.*:%s@fido7.ru medlux.*:%s@news.medlux.ru relcom.*:%s@moderators.relcom.ru ## Direct all public hierarchies to the master moderator database. *:%s@moderators.isc.org
## $Revision: 1.3.2.3 $ ## newsfeeds - determine where Usenet articles get sent ## Format: ## site[/exclude,exclude...]\ ## :pattern,pattern...[/distrib,distrib...]\ ## :flag,flag...\ ## :param ## Summary of flags: ## <size Article must be less then size bytes. ## >size Article must be more then size bytes. ## Aitems Article checks -- d (must have Distribution header) ## p (don't check for site in Path header) ## c (no control messages) C (only control messages) ## e (all groups must exist). ## Bhigh/low Internal buffer size before writing to output. ## Fname Name of the spool file. ## Gcount Crossposts limited to count groups. ## H[count] Article must have less then count hops; default is 1. ## Isize Internal buffer size (if a file feed) ## Nm Only moderated groups that match the patterns. ## Nu Only unmoderated groups that match the patterns. ## Ppriority Nice priority of channel or program feed. ## Ooriginator First field of X-Trace must match originator (wildmat). ## Ssize Start spooling if more than size bytes get queued. ## Ttype Feed types -- f (file) m (funnel; param names the ## real entry) p (pipe to program) c (send to stdin ## channel of param's sub-process) x (like c, but ## handles commands on stdin) x (log entry only). ## Witems What to write -- b (article bytesize) f (full path) ## g (first newsgroup) h (Message-ID hash) ## m (Message-ID) n (relative path) p (posted time) ## s (site that fed article) t (time received) ## * (names of funnel feed-in's or all sites that get ## the article) N (Newsgroups header) D (Distribution ## header) H (all headers) O (overview data) ## P (path header) R (replication information) ## Param field depends on T flag. For Tf, relative paths are from the ## out.going directory. For Tp and Tc, it is a shell command to execute. ## If a Tm refers to this entry (which will have its own T param) then "*" ## is expanded to all the funnel sites that triggered this one. Useful ## for spawning one mail process, e.g. ## ## This file is complicated -- see newsfeeds.5! ## This is the local site. ## The "pattern" field gives the initial subscription list for ## all other sites. You might want to put "!control,!junk,!.*" ## there. The "distrib" subfield limits incoming articles. ## ## You can also have ME/bad.site: to refuse articles from a particular ## site (by matching the Path: entry). Other pseudo-sites may be put ## in here, to REFUSE certain types of 3rd-party cancel messages ## (See the "Cancel FAQ" news.admin.net-abuse.misc): ## cyberspam Spam cancels, munged articles, binary postings ## spewcancel just munged articles from runaway gateways ## bincancel just binary postings to non-binaries groups ## ## Note that refusing articles means you won't offer them to sites you feed ## Default of everything to everybody except for junk, control, anything ## with "local" as the newsgroup prefix (i.e. matches "localhost.stuff") or ## groups under foo. Articles posted to any group under alt.binaries.warez ## will not get propagated, even if they're cross posted to something that ## is.

The next file, send-ifmail, comes from the ifmail package. This file must be placed in /opt/news/bin (or wherever you newsconfig files are) and must be owned by user news, group news, mode 0550. You must edit this file before it can be used. The lines with innshellvars and ifnews in it must be adjusted to the paths on your system.
