So I noticed in the examples in the readers.conf file.

#}#auth "local" {
# hosts: "*.example.com, example.com"
# default: "<local>@example.com"
#}

#access "local" {
# users: "<local>@example.com"
# newsgroups: "*"

Does there always have to be a @example.com or could it be something
simple as a keyword in the default and users field?

Hi hurst,

So I noticed in the examples in the readers.conf file.

#}#auth "local" {
#    hosts: "*.example.com, example.com"
#    default: "<local>@example.com"
#}

#access "local" {
#    users: "<local>@example.com"
#    newsgroups: "*"

Does there always have to be a @example.com or could it be something
simple as a keyword in the default and users field?

The identity assigned by the auth group does not need containing a
domain name (@example.com). It can be "<local>", and then you match it
with a mere:
users: "<local>"

Note that if you use the default-domain key in an auth group, that
domain will always be appended to the identity if it does not already
contain one.

I believe the "@example.com" adds a useless complexity in the
readers.conf sample file. I'll remove it.
