I recently tried to send an article to a moderated newsgroup, but the response blew up because of the addressing syntax in the NEWS_MANAGER:MAILPATHS. file. This didn't work: backbone %s@eddie.mit.edu This does work: backbone uucp%%"""%s@eddie.mit.edu""" The %% preserves the uucp% construct, while the """'s preserve the " around the username.
