Hi all,

I've been setting up an INN server again, after a 2.5 decade hiatus from 
usenet. All is well, it works, pulls in news with pullnews. Can't post 
from the server yet, I'm using accounts on other servers for now.

But, I want to become a part of the larger usenet again (and to be able 
to post from my own server), so I'm looking at setting up peering at 
some point. When I look at eternal-september.org, as an example, it 
requires that I run cleanfeed. But it seems cleanfeed was last updated 
in 2020.

Is cleanfeed still relevant in 2025? Should I attempt to set it up? In 
fact, I have it set up, but without recent info to put in its 
configuration files, I doubt it'll do much good.

Any hints would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Koen
