6/19 early AM -- messages no come down, no go up..........

This is posted from the cheese server. It does not carry this group. If
it makes it here it confirms my idea that most NNTP servers have a 'master
list' of newsgroups with some newsgroups that are flagged as 'active' --
or something like that, but if a crosspost is made to a newsgroup 'active'
on that server, then the others are also respected, active or not.........
Since about 6:30 AM, 6/19, the BS server seems to be
unresponsive...............

It is responsive now. Dennis, am I correct in the above?

Yes, if you include a bellsouth.net.* group in your crosspost to a
"universal" group such as "alt.test " from an "outside" server, it will
make it to the BS newsservers. :)
This has been "common knowledge" here for quite some time...

In my experience, it applies to any newsgroup in any hierarchy -- try it and
then add that to the "common knowledge". ;-)

You *may* be able to crosspost to a group that is not on your own
server. As long as your server carries at least *one* of the groups
listed in the header, and you make that valid group the *first* in your
newsgroups listing, it *should* accept your post and propagate it (and
all of the header information) on to other servers. If other servers
carry those groups, then pointers to your post will appear in all the
specified newsgroups.

Thank you for restating for what I originally said.

For at least some newsgroups servers, that works only if the first
newsgroup on the crosspost list is carried on that server. I got
your message from the BS server.
