-distrib.pats - Default values for the Distribution header
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The file I<pathetc>/distrib.pats is used by B<nnrpd> to determine the
-default value of the Distribution header. Blank lines and lines beginning
-with a number sign (C<#>) are ignored. All other lines consist of three
-fields separated by a colon:
-
- <weight>:<pattern>:<value>
-
-The first field is the weight to assign to this match. If a newsgroup
-matches multiple lines, the line with the highest weight is used. This
-should be an arbitrary integer greater than zero. The order of lines in
-the file is only important if groups have equal weight (in which case, the
-first matching line will be used).
-
-The second field is either the name of a newsgroup or a uwildmat(3)-style
-pattern to specify a set of newsgroups.
-
-The third field is the value that should be used for the Distribution
-header of a posted article, if this line was picked as the best match and
-no Distribution header was supplied by the user. It can be an empty
-string, specifying that no Distribution header should be added.
-
-When a post is received by B<nnrpd> that does not already contain a
-Distribution header, each newsgroup to which an article is posted will be
-checked against this file in turn, and the matching line with the highest
-weight will be used as the value of the Distribution header. If no lines
-match, or if the matching line has an empty string for its third field, no
-header will be added.
