Message-ID: <512@acornrc.UUCP> Date: Tue, 1-Dec-87 16:52:29 EST Article-I.D.: acornrc.512 Posted: Tue Dec 1 16:52:29 1987 Date-Received: Fri, 4-Dec-87 23:23:47 EST Organization: Acorn Research Centre, Palo Alto, CA Lines: 22 Xref: mnetor news.software.b:1002 news.admin:1466 I have a couple of users to whom I send a couple of newsgroups via mail. The problem is that they also receive control messages for the newsgroups. Is there any way to filter these out? I've tried adding ,!group.ctl to the sys file lines, but this doesn't seem to work. Relevant sys lines: # Send comp.lang.modula2 to Joe User via mail joe:world,local,!local.all,comp.lang.modula2,!comp.lang.modula2.ctl::\ /usr/lib/sendmail -odb -oeq -oi -oo JUser # # Send official 4bsd bug fixes to Max User via mail max:world,comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes,!comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes.ctl::\ /usr/lib/sendmail -odb -oeq -oi -oo MUser Thanks for any help. -- Bob Weissman Internet: bob@acornrc.UUCP UUCP: ...!{ ames | decwrl | oliveb | apple }!acornrc!bob Arpanet: bob%acornrc.UUCP@AMES.ARPA
