A number of moderated groups exist on the net.  These are groups which
usually have one or more individuals (acting as editors and/or
moderators) who must approve articles before they are published to the
net.  In general, these groups fall into one of five categories:

1) Groups with postings of an informative nature not suited to
   discussion and always originating from the same (very small) group
   of posters.  Groups within this category include mod.newslists,
   mod.announce.newusers, and mod.map.

2) Groups derived from regular groups with such a high volume that
   it is hard for the average reader to keep up.  The moderated
   versions of these groups are an attempt to provide a lower volume
   and higher quality version of the same forum.  Examples of
   this category include mod.announce and mod.os.unix.

3) Groups derived from regular groups which have often been abused.
   That is, the regular groups often received postings of items which
   were not germane to the stated topic of the group (or sometimes even
   within the realm of politeness for the net).  This also includes
   groups suffering from an annoying number of duplicate postings and
   innappropriate followups.  Moderated groups in this category include
   mod.sources.

4) Groups designed to serve also as direct feedback to an off-the-net
   group.  The discussions in mod.std.mumps and mod.std.c fall into this
   category.

5) Groups which are gatewayed into the Usenet from an Arpa Internet
   mailing list.  These groups are moderated by someone on the Internet
   side but are shared with the Usenet population.  Submissions mailed
   to the proper addresses, given below, will appear in both the "mod"
   group on Usenet, and the Internet list.  Some of these groups do not
   actually have a moderator, but instead act as automatic remailers to
   both networks.

To post to a "mod" group, write your article and mail it to the listed
SUBMISSION address.  The moderator will then do the actual posting of
the article.  The news software on the Usenet will not allow direct
posting to moderated newsgroups, nor will it forward unauthorized
articles to other sites.  The only way to post to a moderated group is
to mail it to the moderator.  If you are running 2.11 news or later,
your news software will automatically mail your article to the
moderator if you attempt to post it.  Thus, posting to a moderated
newsgroup should appear the same as posting to any other group (except
you don't see the posting right away).

Depending on the newsgroup involved, if the moderator feels that your
article is inappropriate for the group, s/he will return the article to
you with a suggestion for other newsgroups in which to post it, and/or
an explanation of why it is not appropriate for the moderated group.
You may still post such articles to the regular groups as you currently
do, if such groups exist.

If you have questions or complaints about the way a moderated group is
run, contact the moderator by mail.  Alternatively, you can send mail
to the mailing list "moderators@cbosgd.att.COM" and it will be rebroadcast
to all of the current Usenet-only newsgroup moderators.

Below is a list of the current moderated groups and the moderators of
those groups. Included in that list are the addresses to use if you
have questions of comments about the groups. After that is given a list
of addresses for submissions of articles to those groups. If your site
is running 2.10.2 or 2.10.3 news, these addresses can be used to build
the "moderators" file so that "postnews" can automatically mail an
article to the correct moderator. 

If your system is running 2.11 news, posting to moderated newsgroups
is done by mailing your submission to well-defined aliases at a nearby
backbone site.  The mail path to that backbone site should be in your
news library, in the file "mailpaths" -- there is no need to update
a moderators file.  Information on how to construct the paths in the
"mailpaths" file are posted monthly in a companion article.

If you are NOT running 2.11 news, you are *STRONGLY* advised to upgrade
to it so as to take advantage of this feature, as well as the numerous
bug fixes and other enhancements.

The addresses below are given in Internet/domain form.  If a site has
an Internet address, that is given in the list, otherwise a UUCP
address is given.  Sites reachable via other direct addresses are given
in the correspondence list just below.  If you are a UUCP-only site,
you can mail to an ARPA (EDU, GOV, etc.)-only site by mailing through
the gateways (seismo and ucbvax) using a uucp-style path.  Thus, to
submit an article to the mod.protocols.appletalk group, for example,
mail it to:
	...!{seismo,ucbvax}!c.cs.cmu.edu!info-applebus

For those of you not currently using the UUCP map data, the following
can be used to derive uucp mail paths:
	...!{akgua,ihnp4}!abnji
	...!{akgua,gatech,ihnp4,ulysses}!cbosgd
