Specifies the location of a file which contains a list of newsgroups which are NOT allowed in the contained object. The file can be specified by absolute path or a path relative to the bin directory. This file specifies a list of newsgroups, not a list of glob-style patterns. Since this directiveis applied at the same time the FilterSubscription directive is applied, we suggest that you use the FilterSubscription directive unless the directive gets very large.

Sets the upper limit for individual hosts that are permitted to connect within a feed object. A value of 0 indicates unlimited connections. For instance, 'HostConnectionLimit 1' in a feed object which serves multiple clients ensures that only one connection may be running on each client machine. 'HostConnectionLimit 10' in a feed object which matches one multi-user machine ensures that only ten connections from that machine can read news at once. To be clear, this directive sets a limit for individual hosts within a feed object, not for the entire feed object. See MaxIncomingNumberOfStreams

| Legal Values | A glob-style expression |
| Default Value | None |
Example 17-22. IncomingGroupFilter Usage
IncomingGroupFilter !*, internal.* |
Specifies a list of hostnames allowed for this feed object and is required for all incoming feed objects. For IP addresses without reverse-DNS ecords, IP addresses and glob-style IP patterns like '10.2.3.*' can be used. Multiple patterns can be used, separated by commas. Incoming connections to the server are assigned to a feed object by matching top-bottom in the feeds.conf file. So it is important that the feed objects go from most-specific to most-general. That is, a feed object with 'IncomingHostNames newsfeed.company.com' should be placed earlier in the file than a feed object with 'IncomingHostNames *.company.com'.
| Products | Typhoon, Twister, Tornado Back End, Tornado Front End |
| Container | <Feed> |
