The newsfeeds.conf file on the gateway machine looks like:
site me groups \
Do you mean..... site me groups *,!junk,!control,!control.checkgroups,!local.*
Don't use the \
Ha! We're all old-time INN admins and that bit of cut-and-paste slipped by completely unnoticed.
*,!junk,!control,!control.checkgroups,!local\ ...
The "!control, ..." was correct for INN, but is it correct for
DNews?
Could this be preventing newgroup messages from going downstream?
! = NOT (NO) *=ALL *,!xxx means, all but not !xxx
Yeah, I know. It's just that in INN, you don't propagate the control groups, since the control message is SUPPOSED to be posted to the "real" groupname. That is, if I'm creating a new group called "new.group", I post the control message to "new.group", NOT to "control.newgroup". The server stores the message in "control.newgroup", but the message is propagated based on whatever rules would have governed propagation of a group called "new.group".
Does Dnews propagate control messages using that same rule, or does it propagate them based on the "!control" rule?
It is certainly supposed to propagate using the original group name the same as INN. However if you have !control for your 'me' feed that would stop the message being accepted locally which would stop it propagating.
[Just for insurance, I've removed the "!control" entry from the config; it probably won't do any harm and might help]
Very wise although I doubt it's the problem.
