Inbound Push Newsfeeds

Depending on the type of inbound newsfeed you configured with the Newsfeed Configuration Wizard, the property page for inbound pull feeds or the property page for accepting inbound push feeds is available.

Note   The list of all available newsgroups represents the newsgroup public folders that are available on the Microsoft Exchange Server computer. Subscribing and unsubscribing to newsgroup public folders controls which ones accept messages from this newsfeed.

You can specify which newsgroups to include or exclude in the newsfeed. The default is to include all available newsgroups. The following table describes the symbols that are used to indicate whether you have subscribed to newsgroups.
