of the line.
Blank lines and comments are ignored.
All other lines should consist of four fields separated by a colon.
.PP
The first field is the name of the site as specified in the
.IR newsfeeds (5)
file.
.PP
The second field should be the hostname or IP address of the remote site.
.PP
The third field, if non-empty, specifies the default tail truncation size of
site's batchfile.

If no ``\-t timeout'' flag is given in this field and on the
.I nntpsend
command line, ``\-t\ 180'' will be given to
.IR innxmit .
