Hi Brad,

> How does an administrator send a control message?

See this sample for instance:

    ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/sample.control

And this documentation:

    ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/FORMAT


--------------------------------------------------------
From: test at test.fr
Newsgroups: test.pouet
Subject: cmsg newgroup test.pouet
Control: newgroup test.pouet
Approved: test at test.fr
Message-ID: <1 at test.fr>
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:57:10 GMT

For your newsgroups file:
test.pouet    Description preceded by a tabulation.
--------------------------------------------------------

should be sufficient to create a newsgroup with:

newgroup:test at test.fr:test.*:doit

in your control.ctl file and a correct propagation of test.* to your second
news server (but not worldwide, please).
controlchan should also be set up in your newsfeeds file.


Be careful when using such automatic control messages, according to
what Ray herein wrote.
