Changi Environment
Specifying Article Header Modifications
The following environment variables may be set to override
newsgroup name defaults:
CHANGIDISTRIBUTION
CHANGIHEADERDUMMY
CHANGIMIMEENCODING
CHANGIMIMETYPE
CHANGIMIMEVERSION
CHANGINEWSMASTER
CHANGIORGANIZATION
CHANGIPATHHOST
CHANGIPATHMASTER
If this variable is set, Changi will add or override the distribution
header of each local post with the specified value.
Example:
SET CHANGIDISTRIBUTION=local
This will mark all local posts for local distribution only.
Defining this variable is discouraged.
By default, Changi will use an empty string in case of
missing items in the overview files. Setting CHANGIHEADERDUMMY
may break some newsreaders and is made available for backward
compatibility only.
Example:
SET CHANGIHEADERDUMMY=(none)
If this environment variable is present, Changi will add
a content type header to each post.
Example:
SET CHANGIMIMEENCODING=7bit
If this environment variable is present, Changi will add
a mime type header to each post.
Example:
SET CHANGIMIMETYPE=TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII
If this environment variable is present, Changi will add
a mime version header to each post.
Example:
SET CHANGIMIMEVERSION=1.0
This parameter is currently unused.
If this variable is set, Changi will add or override the organization
header of each local post with the specified value.
Example:
SET CHANGIORGANIZATION=Ping eV
The value specified by CHANGIPATHHOST is used for two purposes.
First, Changi will reject articles containing the name of the
given host. Second, Changi will prepend this hostname to each
article it receives.
By default, Changi queries the
HOSTNAME environment variable
to build or check the path header of each incoming article.
Example:
SET CHANGIPATHHOST=news.ping.de
If an incoming articles doesn't have a path header, Changi will
automatically add this line. By default the user name of
the created bang path will be not-for-mail
. You
may specify a different name by setting CHANGIPATHMASTER.
Example:
SET CHANGIPATHMASTER=harald
