The following table describes the tags you can use in a rule:

Tag

Description

 

 

hostname

Choose one of the following:

 

host name

 

host name:port

 

IP address

 

IP address:port

 

.block—Use .blockto block access to specific

 

news groups.

 

 

group-wildmat

This tag must be a comma-separated list of group

 

names and list files in wildmat format (use * as a

 

wildcard). The list file options are: subscriptions,

 

distributions, and distrib.pats.

 

Do not use spaces in the list. Use the prefix “!” to

 

indicate groups not included in the list. The list is

 

processed in reverse order, so more specific

 

restrictions should be placed later in the list.

 

Examples:

 

*,!distrib.pats

 

The previous example does not include any

 

distrib.pats files, but does include all others.

 

*,!alt.*

 

The previous example does not include any

 

groups of the form alt.*, but does include all

 

others.

 

talk.religion.*,!talk.religion.barney

 

,subscriptions

 

The previous example includes only subscriptions

 

from all talk.religion.* groups but excludes

 

talk.religion.barney.

 

 

priority

This tag tells the appliance how to treat the specified

 

host and news groups. Use one of the following

 

options:

 

<no priority tag>

 

If you do not use a priority tag, the appliance

 

caches articles from the specified news groups on

 

demand. If you specify multiple groups (such as

 

alt.*), the appliance maintains a group list and

 

will poll the parent NNTP server regularly to check

 

for changes in the group list.
