- Cosar/Argic/Mutlu et al are no longer interesting. They have no other life
- that I can tell other than pushing their version of history onto a population
- that cares not a whit. What I've done instead is add "/zuma" to the
- ~news/sys file entries for our news reading machines. Until I have our
- feed sites do the same thing we'll still have the articles on our switching
- machine but no one reads news there.
-
- What would be really handy is the ability to add aliases to the ME entry,
- e.g.,
-
- ME/zuma/becker:comp,news,etc\all:F:
-
- so that messages that had been through zuma or becker would be rejected.
- This could be done by looking at the message-id presented to nntpd or
- after article reception when the Path: line was available. At that point
- the message-id would be recorded in the history file but the article
- wouldn't be stored - just the way a cancel is handled.
