moderators.conf

This file defines the moderators email for moderated groups. Articles sent to moderated groups are redirected by DNews to the group moderator. Click here for the latest template of this file. Each line should follow the syntax:

Syntax: group(s) moderators_email_address

Note: The default entry has changed from *:%s@uunet.uu.net to *:%s@moderators.isc.org please update your moderator.conf file.

You should only need to touch this file if you want to add a local group and make it moderated. In that case add your groups at the top of the file as the first match is used.

If the email address contains a "%s" then that is replaced by the news group name with the dots changed into dashes. e.g. to moderate a group called "netwin.gossip.moderated"

Unlike most config files in DNews, in this file the FIRST match is used.

netwin.gossip.moderated:chrisp@marc.cri.nz
gnu.*:%s@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu
*:%s@moderators.isc.org
