Setting up an Incoming Filter

Tortoise checks each incoming article against the incoming filter.  If the article is not included or is excluded the article will be rejected.  

Ex: !alt.binaires*,!fido*,* 

Will reject all articles in any alt.binaires groups and and  all fido groups but allow all other groups.


1. Open web interface.
2. Click on the Global Configuration.
3. Using Tortoise's stringmatch add a pattern to Incoming Filter.

Maximum System Connections

Tortoise has a per host(s) connection limit and a system connection limit.  This will control the maximum number of connections that the server will allow.  Even if a specific host or set of hosts has not reach the per host limit Tortoise will not allow those hosts (or any hosts) to connect.
