Hi all,

I've puzzled by some results I'm seeing from Cleanfeed filters relating
to binary checking.

I noticed some time ago that I was catching a lot of binary files in
emp.md5 filters. This was odd as the articles in question should have
been caught by the misplaced binary filters. To help narrow it down I
added this little check to my cleanfeed.local:-

sub local_filter_reject {
if (is_binary()) {
saveart('emp.md5.bin', $vr, 2) if $vr =~ /^EMP\s\(md5/;
} else {
saveart('emp.md5', $vr) if $vr =~ /^EMP\s\(md5/;
};

The result is that virtually no binary files end up in the emp.md5.bin
file whilst lots are caught in the emp.md5 file. The conclusion I draw
from this is that the is_binary function isn't tagging all the articles
it should, despite the regex's in it being absolutely correct, (and
manually tested against articles).

Hi

It is possible read a google groups from Wiondows Live Mail??
If it is possible how can I do that?

thanks

Hi all,

It's quite evident that people have their reasons for filtering out Google
Groups traffic, and it's clear from reading non-NNTP/Netnews-related groups
that one of the most obvious problem is Google's lack of control of spam
that their hosts generate, courtesy of their users.

Does anyone know how Google spam works? I mean, how do the spammers do it?
Do they solve CAPTCHAs, mak accounts, select groups and blast, each by
hand? Or do they have tools to automate partly or fully this process?

It's obvious that legitimate gentlefolk want to use Google Groups. I don't
deny it - I have a GG account and use it to catch up sometimes. I
kind of find it easy to reply using GG sometimes when I'm rushed, or in a
tight spot. It's quick and easy. I use Google to archive my mailing list,
and have posted to it from there (but left moderation to my Ecartis, so
that I can trivially handle GG posts like any others, by email). I know
the regulars in rec.{arts,games}.int-fiction are equally lenient toward
groupers, and some use it exclusively. And, to be honest, it works just
fine when used responsibly and correctly. I have nothing against newbiew,
either; we were all newbies once, remember?

No, you can't. Try again. I wasn't thinking. Sorry! It's here:

Newsfetch is what the other one was going to be called, but it's not in
the webroot yet. :-)

Hi all,

I have written a tool to send news by mail. It's written in Tcl and you
can fetch it from here:
http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/newsfetch

It's sufficiently small that writing it was neither troublesome nor
unrewarding. It works on all platforms and it's fast.

Here's a surprisingly related thread:
http://tinyurl.com/5h7vnv

Now, I want to go the other way: to put unique news articles sucked from a
news server (identified uniquely by Message-ID fields) for specified
groups into some sort of mail store or for posting to lists, by injecting
them into the stdin of some responsible process (maildrop, for instance).
The useful advantage of a mail store is that one gains all the benefits of
IMAP, and all of the filtering, tools and features of all of the email
filters and clients that can use either IMAP or the store that the IMAP
server is using. (Making easy stuff hard, you see. :-) )

Only for dnews

it's possible to tell or force dnews to "getgroups" only manualy ?
dnews "getgroups" automaticly

I get this in status

Internet Systems Consortium is pleased to announce that a new bug-fix
release of INN is available at:

ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/inn-2.4.5.tar.gz

The MD5 checksum of this release is:

07bc6530c5e296b0ee81a5d6ac4cd355

A PGP signature and a patch from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5 are available in the same
directory.

This is a bug-fix release over 2.4.4. Upgrading an existing INN 2.4.4
installation is as simple as building INN 2.4.5, running make update, and
restarting innd and related programs.

Many thanks to Julien ÉLIE for preparing this release.

Changes from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5

* Fixed the "alarm signal" around "SSL_read" in nnrpd: it allows a
proper disconnection of news clients which were previously hanging
when posting an article through a SSL connection. Moreover, the
*clienttimeout* parameter now works on SSL connections. Thanks to
Matija Nalis for the patch.

Does some one , nntp server use this feature ?
