NAME
     nntpsend.ctl - List of sites to feed via nntpsend

DESCRIPTION
     The file pathetc/nntpsend.ctl specifies the default list of sites to be fed
     by  nntpsend.  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 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 the batch file.  If this field is empty,  no  truncation  is  performed.
     This  field  may  be  of  the form "maxsize-truncsize", in which case it is
     passed to shrinkfile as "-m maxsize -s truncsize"; otherwise it is  of  the
     form "truncsize", in which case it is passed as "-s truncsize".

     The fourth field specifies some default flags passed to innxmit.  Note that
     the  flag -a is always given to innxmit and need not appear here.	If no -t
     flag is given in this field or on the nntpsend command line, "-t 180"  will
     be given to innxmit.

     See nntpsend(8) for an example of nntpsend.ctl config file.
