+##  control.ctl - Access control for control messages.
+##  Last modified: 2014-04-06
+##
+##  Based on rone's unified control.ctl file.
+##
+##  For a web presentation of the information recorded here, as well as
+##  other useful information about Usenet hierarchies, please see:
+##
+##      <http://usenet.trigofacile.com/hierarchies/>
+##
+##  Please copy usenet-config@isc.org on any updates to this file so that
+##  it can be updated in the INN Subversion repository and on ftp.isc.org.
+##  For changes to a public hierarchy, please also post the changes to
+##  news.admin.hierarchies.
+##
+##  The canonical version of this file can be found in the latest INN
+##  release and at <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/control.ctl>; these
+##  two files will be kept in sync.  Please refer to the latest version of
+##  this file for the most up-to-date hierarchy control information and
+##  please use the latest version if you intend to carry all hierarchies.
+##
+##  You may wish to review and change the policy for alt.*, free.*,
+##  it-alt.*, and oesterreich.* below before using this file on your
+##  server.
+##
+##  Format:
+##     <message>:<from>:<newsgroups>:<action>
+##
+##     <message>      Control message or "all" if it applies to all control
+##                    messages.
+##     <from>         Pattern that must match the From line.
+##     <newsgroups>   Pattern that must match the newsgroup being newgroup'd
+##                    or rmgroup'd (ignored for other messages).
+##     <action>       What to do:
+##                          doit        Perform action
+##                          drop        Ignore message
+##                          log         One line to error log
+##                          mail        Send mail to admin
+##                          verify-pgp_userid   Do PGP verification on user.
+##                    All actions except drop and mail can be given a log
+##                    location by following the action with an = and the
+##                    log ("mail" says to mail the admin, an empty location
+##                    tosses the log information, and a relative path xxx
+##                    logs to $LOG/xxx.log).
+##
+##  The *last* matching entry is used.  See the expire.ctl(5) man page for
+##  complete information.
+##
+##  This file follows the following policies:
+##
+##   * Most unknown or invalid control messages no longer result in mail.
+##     This is due to the proliferation of forged control messages filling
+##     up mailboxes.  Some news servers even get overwhelmed with trying to
+##     log failure, so unsigned control messages for hierarchies that use
+##     PGP are simply dropped.
+##
+##   * The assumption is that you now have PGP on your system.  If you
+##     don't, you should get it to help protect yourself against all the
+##     control message forgeries.  See <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/>.
+##     PGP control message verification comes with all versions of INN since
+##     1.5, but you will need to install either PGP or GnuPG; see the
+##     installation instructions for your news server.
+##
+##     If for some reason you can't use PGP, search for the *PGP* comments
+##     and modify the control lines to change "verify-..." in the action
+##     field to "mail" or "doit=mail" or "doit=<log file>" or whatever you
+##     prefer (replacing <log file> with the name of an appropriate log
+##     file).
+## 
+##   * A number of hierarchies are for local use only but have leaked out
+##     into the general stream.  In this config file, they are set so that
+##     the groups will be easy to remove, and are marked with a comment of
+##     *LOCAL* (for use by that organization only, not generally
+##     distributed), *DEFUNCT* (a hierarchy that's no longer used), or
+##     *PRIVATE* (should only be carried after making arrangements with the
+##     given contact address).  Please delete all groups in those
+##     hierarchies from your server if you carry them, unless you've
+##     contacted the listed contact address and arranged a feed.
+##
+##     If you have permission to carry any of the hierarchies so listed in
+##     this file, you should change the entries for those hierarchies
+##     below. 
+##
+##   * Some hierarchies are marked as *HISTORIC*.  These hierarchies
+##     aren't entirely defunct, but they are very low-traffic, not widely
+##     read or carried, and may not be worth carrying.  If you don't intend
+##     to carry them, comment out their entries.
+##
+##  The comments of this file aren't in any formal or well-defined syntax,
+##  but they are meant to use a consistent syntax to allow eventual parsing
+##  by scripts into a better database format.  Please follow the syntax of
+##  existing entries when providing new ones.  The recognized "fields" are
+##  Contact (contact e-mail address), Admin group (the administrative group
+##  for the hierarchy), URL, Key URL (URL for PGP key), Key fingerprint, Key
+##  mail (address to mail for PGP key), and Syncable server (for actsync or
+##  a similar tool).
+##
+##  Names used in this file that cannot be encoded in 7bit ASCII are in
+##  UTF-8.  The only non-7bit-ASCII content is in comments.

+## 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/<group-name>.gz
+#
+# exists (replacing <group-name> 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.

+##  Format:
+##	site[/exclude,exclude...]\
+##		:pattern,pattern...[/distrib,distrib...]\
+##		:flag,flag...\
+##		:param
+##  Summary of flags:
+##	<size		Article must be less then size bytes.
+##	Aitems		Article checks -- d (must have Distribution header)
+##			p (don't check for site in Path header).
+##	Bhigh/low	Internal buffer size before writing to output.
+##	H[count]	Article must have less then count hops; default is 1.
+##	Isize		Internal buffer size (if a file feed)
+##	Nm		Only moderated groups that match the patterns.
+##	Nu		Only unmoderated groups that match the patterns.
+##	Ssize		Start spooling if more than size bytes get queued.
+##	Ttype		Feed types -- f (file) m (funnel; param names the
+##			real entry) p (pipe to program) c (send to stdin
+##			channel of param's sub-process); x (like c, but
+##			handles commands on stdin).
+##	Witems		What to write -- b (article bytesize) f (full path)
+##			g (first newsgroup) m (Message-ID) n (relative
+##			path) s (site that fed article) t (time received)
+##			* (names of funnel feed-in's or all sites that get
+##			the article) N (Newsgroups header) D (Distribution
+##			header) H (all headers) O (overview data) R
+##			(replication data).
+##  Param field depends on T flag.  For Tf, relative paths are from the
+##  out.going directory.  For Tp and Tc, it is a shell command to execute.
+##  If a Tm refers to this entry (which will have its own T param) then "*"
+##  is expanded to all the funnel sites that triggered this one.  Useful
+##  for spawning one mail process, e.g.
+##
+##  This file is complicated -- see newsfeeds.5!
+
+##  This is the local site.
+##  The "pattern" field gives the intial subscription list for
+##  all other sites.  You might want to put "!control,!junk,!<local>.*"
+##  there.  The "distrib" subfield limits incoming articles.
+##
+##  You can also have ME/bad.site: to refuse articles from a particular
+##  site (by matching the Path: entry).  Other pseudo-sites may be put
+##  in here, to REFUSE certain types of 3rd-party cancel messages
+##  (See the "Cancel FAQ" news.admin.net-abuse.misc):
+##      cyberspam       Spam cancels, munged articles, binary postings
+##      spewcancel      just munged articles from runaway gateways
+##      bincancel       just binary postings to non-binaries groups
