NAME

       nntpsend.ctl - list of sites to feed via nntpsend

DESCRIPTION

       The file <--prefix=PREFIX at configure>/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list of sites to be fed by nntpsend(8).

       Comments begin with a number sign (``#'') and continue through the end of the line.  Blank lines and comments are ignored.  All other lines
       should consist of four fields separated by a colon.

       The first field is the name of the site as specified in the newsfeeds(5) file.

       The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.

       The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default head truncation size of site's batchfile.  If this field is empty,	no  truncation	is
       performed.  If this field is of the form ``maxsize-truncsize'' then it is passed to shrinkfile as ``-m maxsize -s truncsize'', otherwise is
       of the form ``truncsize'' then it is passed as ``-s truncsize''.

       The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to innxmit(8).  The flag ``-a'' is always given to innxmit and need not  appear  hear.
       If no ``-t timeout'' flag is given in this field and on the nntpsend command line, ``-t 180'' will be given to innxmit.
