    Hi,
    [FU2 news.software.nntp]
    Jesse Rehmer a tapoté :

    The administrator of news.corradoroberto.it was using suck, pulling
    from my server and those articles made their way back out through
    other peers of news.corradoroberto.it who accepted the old
    articles. The injection-bsd1 node is only in a handful of articles
    on my server, so it likely won't do you much good to filter based
    on that.

    Yes, nothing found in innreport today!


    News administrators should have a proper article cutoff set on the
    servers which they peer with others. If only the administrator of news.corradoroberto.it made the mistake originally it would not
    have leaked beyond.

    Yes good advice but sometimes the newsmaster has to modify "artcutoff"
    in inn.conf and forget changing it after...

    Maybe reporting the value of "artcutoff" in log and INNReport
    would be a nice thing.


    I'm actually fine accepting old articles but understand that not all
    news admins would want to receive them. I guess I am relying on my
    peers not to accept old articles if they dont want them should I get
    them from other sources.

    I still intend to backfill a number of my groups, I'm just nervous
    about propagating old articles while still being able to receive and
    send new ones.

    Wouldn't it be interesting to have an inn2 configuration option that
    prevents the propagation of old articles to other servers by default ?
