  • Is there any way to correct a newgroup message?

    From Dale@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 17 11:51:27 2021
    Is there any way to correct a newgroup message?

    So it can be listed on ...

    ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active

    ... and get carried by servers that require the listing.

    Is there a peer-to-peer way to check which servers carry a group without checking each server one-by-one?

    news.groups is about Big 8 hierarchy newsgroups, not alt.* newsgroups.

    Generally, the sample active and newsgroups files maintained at
    ftp.isc.org are updated with newgroup messages that have Newsgroups file
    lines in good syntax.

    If the News server will create a newgroup only if it's listed in the
    sample active and newsgroups files at ftp.isc.org, then the group must
    be listed.

    A long time ago, a regular in alt.config had maintained a Newsgroup
    Propogation Tool that ran a regular cron job that checked whether
    various News servers had created a specific newsgroup, but not every
    News server allowed its active file to be downloaded. Anyway, he stopped maintaining the tool a long time ago.
