Would the end user need to install Twisted first to get NNTP access to Mailman archives ? When you say "archives" do you mean "old posts" ? Or would this provide the "live" NNTP < > email list mirroring that I am looking for ? As you appear to have already provided email to NNTP mirroring ability eg. Gmane would your version 3 provide the install of an NNTP server with the Mailman install ? Sorry to ask so many dumb questions but I would really like to get a better understanding of what you propose and whether it is likely to give me the mirroring facilities I am after. Bye the way, I don't know if the following helps, or not, but someone who managed to get email < > web < > NNTP newsgroups working said.. "you can also make some changes to the way your web server is set up so that your users can access your newsgroups through the same URL as your web site. There is no need to include unsightly port numbers in the URL. This can also overcome problems of people not being able to read your newsgroups because of their firewall settings. < snip > we use the Apache web server with the mod_proxy module. Similar approaches are available with most other web servers. For IIS, you will either need Microsoft Proxy Server, Microsoft Internet Acceleration Server, or a third-party ISAPI module (such as http://www.isapirewrite.com/) to have the same effect. < snip > For details on how to set this up on your own web server, see the Apache mod_proxy documentation or the documentation for whatever web server or proxy server you are using, and look for details on how to set up a "reverse proxy". Don't know whether that helps, or is relevant to the discussion.
