Awatmath.1245 net.news utzoo!decvax!watmath!bstempleton Sat Dec 12 01:06:41 1981 How to handle fa. groups If you are concerned about people posting to fa. groups, you can of course delete them from your ngfile. As an alternate, since all your fa.news should come only from one site, you can just only forward net. news to that site.

Thus our sys file says:

decvax:net.all:A

so if somebody uses inews for posting fa. type news, it goes to the other people we forward news tox, but not to decvax and the rest of the world.

This of course defeats the idea of using fa. group forwarding as a method of talking only to the usenet about a topic, but I haven't had a request from anybody to do this yet. If somebody does, we might change it.
