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. # alt any n yv alt group-admin@isc.org n nq alt tale@*uu.net n nq alt any r nq ## AR (Argentina) ar jorge_f@nodens.fisica.unlp.edu.ar c yv ar jorge_f@nodens.fisica.unlp.edu.ar n yv ar jorge_f@nodens.fisica.unlp.edu.ar r yv ## ARC (*LOCAL* -- NASA Ames Research Center, USA) # Contact: news@arc.nasa.gov # For local use only, contact the above address for information. arc any n nv arc any r yv ## ARKANE (Arkane Systems, UK) # Contact: newsbastard@arkane.demon.co.uk arkane newsbastard@arkane.demon.co.uk c yv arkane newsbastard@arkane.demon.co.uk n yv arkane newsbastard@arkane.demon.co.uk r yv ## ARNET (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## ASU (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## AT (Austria) # Admin group: at.usenet.gruppen # URL: http://www.usenet.at/ # Key URL: http://www.usenet.at/pgpkey.asc at any n nq at any r nq at control@usenet.backbone.at c pv control@usenet.backbone.at at control@usenet.backbone.at n pv control@usenet.backbone.at at control@usenet.backbone.at r pv control@usenet.backbone.at ## ATHENA (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## ATL (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## ATS (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## AURORA (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## AUS (Australia) # Contact: ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org # Admin group: aus.net.news # URL: http://aus.news-admin.org/ # Key URL: http://aus.news-admin.org/ausadmin.asc aus any n nq aus any r nq aus ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org c pv ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org aus ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org n pv ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org aus ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org r pv ausadmin@aus.news-admin.org ## AUSTIN (Austin, Texas, USA) # Admin group: austin.usenet.config # URL: http://frenzy.austin.tx.us/austin/ austin chip@unicom.com c yv austin fletcher@cs.utexas.edu c yv austin pug@pug.net c yv austin chip@unicom.com n yv austin fletcher@cs.utexas.edu n yv austin pug@pug.net n yv austin chip@unicom.com r yv austin fletcher@cs.utexas.edu r yv austin pug@pug.net r yv ## AV (*HISTORIC* -- ) ## AZ (Arizona, USA) az system@asuvax.eas.asu.edu c yv az system@asuvax.eas.asu.edu n yv az system@asuvax.eas.asu.edu r yv ## BA (San Francisco Bay Area, USA) # Admin group: ba.config # # This hierarchy is still in use but has no active maintainers as of # October of 2021.
