Re: Injecting blocked cleanfeed articles into the newsfeed

I noticed I have 6gb of blocked articles in my emp.phn logfile so I
thought I would investigate.

It appears that groups that are moderated got a lot of messages blocked
since it seems the mod approves them in batches.

One thing I've not see is how to inject messages back into the newsfeed
either from a single file of articles or a number of separate files.

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have come across this and wonder how
other admins have solved the issue.

I'm not pretending to be a News administrator here, but it's my
understanding that the tradition is to allow the moderator to perform
spam countermeasures, and that Cleanfeed should be bypassed.

Only if there is some sort of attack on the moderated newsgroup in
question should the issue be handled locally, by temporarily rejecting
all messages till the attack is dealt with.
