NAME
       motd.news - Message of the day information for readers

DESCRIPTION
       This file, found in pathetc/motd.news, contains local information for
       news readers in a free-form format.  The entire file is returned verba‐
       tim to any client that issues the LIST MOTD command.  This might be
       used for new information, notification of upcoming downtime, or similar
       purposes.

       Be aware that use of the LIST MOTD command is not widespread and most
       news clients will never ask for this file.

       If this file is missing, it is not an error.  The server will just send
       the client an empty response.

HISTORY
       Rewritten in POD by Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu> for InterNetNews.
