man 5 moderators

I have two entries there:

  local.*:<my-email-adress>
  gmane.*:

I remember experimenting with local moderated groups just to see what
it's like to be in power.  No conclusive result, it works, you get
emails.  The second one may be an optimization for gmane.org newsgroups,
but in generell one doesn't need that.  Moderated groups make articles
send to a default location where the moderators emails are kept.

I don't think this is needed at all if accepting defaults.

Exactly.  If people want Lua, they have to configure
/etc/leafnode/scripthooks.lua, an example of which is included in the
distribution as scripthooks.lua.dist.
