ietf-nntp Newsgroup Name Length Question

[Stan Barber]

No, there is no RFC specification of this. The generally accepted practice
is that each segment of the name should be no longer than 14 characters
and each segment should consist of only lowercase alphabetical characters, 
numbers and the dash character. There can be any number of segments. The first
segment generally indicates which "hierarchy" the group is associated with.
