7
9 The file <pathetc in inn.conf>/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list
10 of sites to be fed by nntpsend(8).
11
12 Comments begin with a number sign (``#'') and continue through the end
13 of the line. Blank lines and comments are ignored. All other lines
14 should consist of four fields separated by a colon.
15
16 The first field is the name of the site as specified in the newsfeeds
17 file.
18
19 The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote
20 site.
21
22 The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default head truncation
23 size of site's batchfile. If this field is empty, no truncation is
24 performed. This field may be of the form ``maxsize-truncsize'', in
25 which case it is passed to shrinkfile as ``-m maxsize -s truncsize'';
26 otherwise it is of the form ``truncsize'', in which case it is passed
27 as ``-s truncsize''.
28
29 The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to innxmit(8).
30 The flag ``-a'' is always given to innxmit and need not appear here.
31 If no ``-t timeout'' flag is given in this field or on the nntpsend
32 command line, ``-t 180'' will be given to innxmit.
