Sorry if it was hard to find
It's listed on http://netwinsite.com/dnews/undoc.htm#top
Possibly it wasn't documented in the manual that came with the
version you have, we added this web page some time ago to list
all the 'obscure' settings.

Anyway it seems you've found your solution, doing what you wanted originally
is rather tricky (e.g. storing the cancel but not forwarding it)

With that setting dnews will still be forwarding the cancels, instead I suggest
you use this setting:
         post_cancel false
This stops local users from posting cancels but allows cancels from your
incoming news feed.

Or cancel_reject true, which blocks all cancels and doesn't forward them.

Oh, some of that wont work with 4.2,  infact none of it will work now I
check, the best you can do is
         cancel_users nobody
I think that will stop all cancels being acted on.
