The server's master list of carried newsgroups. Each line holds the group name, the highest and lowest article numbers present, and a flag showing whether posting is allowed, whether the group is moderated, or whether articles are aliased elsewhere. The LIST command serves it to clients, and a group missing from it is not carried, whatever exists on other servers.
