Other Useful Resources for Admin's

• Anti-Spam Software Site Jeremy's site for info. on Anti-Spam software. I recommend using the "Clean Feed" patch with the option of removing binaries in non-binary newsgroups as well as taking spam cancel control messages. This will reduce the amount of spam your site takes in and passes to your peers greatly as well as save on your resources.
• Simon Lyall's: Usenet Hierarchies: Config Files FAQ. A good source for your control.ctl file. If you are tired of bogus newsgroups being created then this may serve as a useful tool for your site.
