We've recently been getting posts to bit.listserv.usrdir-l (showing up in our
junk group), but I've seen no newgroup message or discussion here.  What is it?

USRDIR-L@UGA (a  peered list) has  been gateway'ed to  b.l.usrdir-l since
forever. I  think this  is one of  the gateways we  moved here  from Penn
State, so I do not know when it was originially established.

A complete list  of the bit.listserv.* groups is available  in this news-
group  (and and  updated  list will  be posted  today  or tomorrow).  The
Listserv description for USRDIR-L says that it is "User Directory List".

The posts must not have been reaching us until the gateway was moved.  While
all the groups were set up initially, those with no traffic for 90 days are
automatically removed here.  That must have been what happened.  Thanks.

BTW, for those of you running gateways, make sure you don't use a "bit"
distribution, as many sites will not pass them (since they aren't included
in the regions they accept) even though they do get the bit groups.  It's
possible that this has kept some of the groups from seeing traffic here.
