Hi all,
I'm currently looking for some kind of solution, that will allow me to gateway between Cyrus and USENET.
Right now I'm using an MLM solution, that fetches certain groups from a server, drops and drops them in a Cyrus bb, but I'm trying to see if threre is anything around that will allow me to integrate this further.
The things that currently trouble me are:
1) I've found the feedcyrus shellscript, but this only seems to work for an INN install. I do not have the resources to install INN as well on the mailserver, and I do not want articles to be both in the INN system, and in the Cyrus system. Would it be possible to use for instance an slrn-pull setup for this as well ?
Cyrus 2.2 has a fully functional NNTP server so you can feed articles directly into Cyrus (or pull them from another server) and have them served via IMAP/POP3 and/or NNTP.
I've been playing with this option, unfortunately all the newsservers I have access to will not allow me to use the NEWNEWS command, and thus fetchnews fails miserably.
Given the fact that NEWNEWS is rather expensive to run on a full-feed newsserver in busy groups, I can imagine more people having issues with this restriction.
Would it be possible to have another way get the 'last fed message' other than the use of NEWNEWS ? (maybe XOVER, or something?)
This would require maintaining a lot of extra state, andI really don't want to write a full featured client. Patches are always welcome. ;) Feel free to use some other tool if you find one that works. Anything that speaks NNTP or IMAP should work.
OK, Ill start a search and tell you the results if I find anything useful ;-)
You are assuming I have control over the newsserver I use ... I do not ;-)
Why not just have the newsserver feed directly to Cyrus? I only wrote fetchnews because we have our newsfeed sent to a newsserver outside our firewall and I didn't want to allow outside access to my Cyrus server.
Gr,
Nils.
