# newsfeeds.cfg

# This file defines all the other servers that usenet articles are
# received from, and/or sent to. The definition of the stream of
# articles that are sent/received (such as size, groups, etc) is
# called a "newsfeed". The server that the newsfeed is exchanged
# with is called a "peer".

# Each entry has a label.

    # that template will be merged with the setting here.
