If an article is posted from a newsreader to a newsgroup not found in the active file, then that article is ignored.
If an article has been sent from a remote server, each crosspost to a newsgroup not listed in the active file is ignored. If it hasn't been sent to any newsgroup found in the active file, that article will be junked. This means that the article is moved to a special newsgroup named junk.
By default a file named active is expected in CHANGIWORKDIR, but its fully qualified pathname may be modified by setting the environment variable CHANGIACTIVEFILE.
Each line in the active file consists of four fields separated by spaces.
