Re: netnews clogging up the uucp directory
We've noticed the clogged UUCP problem here too, especially since we have
a small spool directory which, until recently was over half filled with
/usr/spool/news.  I think I have a solution which any central site on the
net (the ones that need it most) can install after the distribution without
breaking any protocols.  Basically, instead of doing
       <CREATE ARTICLE> | uux - yoursys!rnews
it would do something like
       uux 'yoursys!rnews
