I am about to become a newsgroup moderator of a pre-exisiting Usenet newsgroup. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do to make my life a little easier? Here's the specifics: Currently, all the posts come in via mail to the moderator who scans through them, collects the 'good' ones, sends all the posts out together, and distributes (somehow) the posts to those people that read their news via email. He's doing all this via a unix machine. Well, since I'm using VM/CMS (and NNR), his method and scripts won't do me alot of good. I asked for suggestions from the MAILBOOK and NETNWS-L listserv lists, and a few people have suggested that I create a listserv list for the folks who get their posts via email, make it so that I am the only one that can send to the list (ie. Send=Editor, [log in to unmask]) and add a tag in the header of Newsgroups=my.group.name (which, btw, I couldn't find documented anywhere). My question is: how does LISTSERV know how to get the post into Usenet? Nowwhere have I told it what or where to find our Usenet host. Also, doen't moderated newsgroups have to have an "approved" tag on them - if so, how do I get that appended to the header? If it matters, we have NNR set up to use NNTP to read it's posts from another machine on campus (ie. there is no DVM to send the posts to on the local machine).
