I want to be a good newsadmin and help stamp out invalid distributions. ;-) So I've specified those distributions I consider valid in the ME entry of my newsfeeds file. For lack of any authoritative reference, this currently consists of everything my feed sites consider valid, plus our organization's internal distributions. Is there any authoritative list of distributions deemed valid by the Usenet community? There's the standard stuff like world,usa,na etc, plus regionals like ba,la,oc, plus frowned-upon ones like comp,rec,sci. I poked around on ftp.uu.net but couldn't find any official list. Since the philosophy of INN (in docs and article threads) seems to encourage rigorous distribution checking, it would be nice if somebody somewhere kept an official list of distributions. -- Mark Bixby Internet: markb@cccd.edu Coast Community College District 1370 Adams Avenue District Information Services Costa Mesa, CA, USA 92626 Technical Support (714) 432-5064 "You can tune a file system, but you can't tune a fish." - tunefs(1M)
