NAME

   moderators - mail addresses for moderated Usenet newsgroups

DESCRIPTION

   The  GetModeratorAddress(3) routine reads the file /etc/news/moderators
   to determine how to reach the moderator of a newsgroup.  This  is  used
   by  inews(1)  when  an  unapproved local posting is made to a moderated
   newsgroup.

   The file is read until  a  match  is  found.   Blank  lines  and  lines
   starting  with  a  number  sign  (``#'')  are ignored.  All other lines
   should consist of two fields separated by a colon.

   The first field is a wildmat(3)-style pattern.  If it matches the  name
   of  the newsgroup, then the second field is taken to be a format string
   for sprintf(3).  This string should have  at  most  one  %s  parameter,
   which   will   be   given  the  name  of  the  newsgroup  with  periods
   transliterated to dashes.

   Here is a sample file:
          foo.important:announce-request@foo.com
          foo.*:%s@mailer.foo.com
          gnu.*:%s@prep.ai.mit.edu
          *:%s@uunet.uu.net
   Using the above file, postings to the moderated newsgroup in  the  left
   column will be sent to the address shown in the right column:
          foo.important       announce-request@foo.com
          foo.x.announce      foo-x-announce@mailer.foo.com
          gnu.emacs.sources   gnu-emacs-sources@prep.ai.mit.edu
          comp.sources.unix   comp-sources-unix@uunet.uu.net
