Ok, I have a news server at my school that I need to post and read groups from, however I usualy have the system on 24/7 to my ISP via ppp. They have had spam problems at school, and have blocked all non school domain address from posting ( in this case *.gmu.edu sites can read/post everyone else gets shut out ) What I'd like to do is run something akin to fetchmail that can go out to the news servers and auth via my account on the network, grab the news, put it in my local news spool were netscape is quite happy to read from localhost ( aliased as news.mydomain ) just as it is to read mail from pop.mydomain and post to mail.mydomain ( all the same host - but I figured I might expand down the road ) Any suggestions, something to run via crontabs every so often? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- James Michael Keller | [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (c)1998 All rights reserved | http://www.radix.net/~jmkeller ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
