# It is not clear to tale what the status of this hierarchy is. His latest
# messages to Sander van Minnen (or
# ) asking for more information regarding what the
# hierarchy is about and what its current groups are, were not answered.
# It is, however, listed in the ISC active file based on the list of
# groups he got in January 1997, and a half-dozen newgroup messages since
# then.
# Lately, the USENET Config Files FAQ's version of control.ctl says that this
# hierarchy is defunct and people should contact or

## ALT ()
#
# Accept all newgroups (except ones forged from Big 8 newgroup issuers,
# who never issue alt.* control messages) and silently ignore all
# rmgroups.
#
# What policy to use for alt.* groups varies widely from site to site.
# For a small site, it is strongly recommended that this policy be changed
# to drop all newgroups and rmgroups for alt.*. The local news admin can
# then add new alt.* groups only on user request. Tons of alt.* newgroups
# are sent out regularly with the intent more to create nonsense entries
# in active files than to actually create a useable newsgroup. The admin
# may still want to check the control message archive, as described below.
#
# Quality, user-desirable new groups can often be discovered by a quick
# perusal of recent alt.* newgroup messages after discarding obvious junk
# groups. One good initial filter is to check the archive of control
# messages for a requested group to see if a syntactically valid newgroup
# message was issued. Many of the junk control messages are invalid and
# won't be archived, and many sites will only add alt.* groups with valid
# control messages. To check the archive, see if:
#
# ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/alt/.gz
#
# exists (replacing with the name of the group) and read the
# first and last few control messages to see if the newsgroup should be
# moderated. (Some alt.* groups that should be moderated are created
# unmoderated by hijackers to try to damage the newsgroup.)
#
# Be aware that there is no official, generally accepted alt.* policy and
# all information about alt.* groups available is essentially someone's
# opinion, including these comments. There are nearly as many different
# policies with regard to alt.* groups as there are Usenet sites.

## LIST ()
# Four Collabra newgroups from on 20 Jul 1998.
## LOCAL (*RESERVED* -- Local-only groups)
#
# Historically reserved for local groups and occasionally configured for
# such groups in news software. It is not really a good idea for sites
# to use this hierarchy for local groups, since they may occur on many
# unconnected sites and may confuse news readers that read at multiple
# sites.
#
# This name occurs at many sites for their own local hierarchies.
# Distributing a hierarchy by this name off of a single server is a very
# bad idea because of the high likelihood of leakage between the unrelated
# groups of different sites.

# A pseudo-hierarchy normally used for the propagation of ihave/sendme

# This was a German language hierarchy for gatewayed email lists like

# within it. There was a bit of a problem with gateways directing the
# same articles to both the zer.* hierarchy and the z-netz.* hierarchy,
# with the resulting Message-ID collisions causing a mess with
# propagation. The hierarchy is now defunct, having been moved to
# z-netz.* in a reorganization in 1996. Contact (Lutz
