Hosting a private news server like I do, there are no upstream news servers. What you describe is common in Usenet, but that is not what I'm suggesting. > However, newsservers usually have spamfilters too, That's correct. Plus one could go a step further and require registration and user/password authentication to connect to a news server, but I prefer not to have the latter. It the ten years that I've been running my news server, I have never had spam messages - just call me lucky! ;-) > I work at such a company, where only Web is available though a proxy. Would a SSL+NNTP connection also be blocked by such a proxy? I would imagine it wouldn't. So that might also be an option. Such proxy's are totally ridiculously in any case. Everything gets piped via HTTP these days, so such proxies or port 80 only firewalls are just a "make believe" protection. > I run such a solution myself - mine does also include a mail <-> news > gateway - so it can still be used as maillist also Another option I would prefer not to implement. The other nice thing about news clients I didn't mention - they tend to default to plain text messages. Contrary to some beliefs, HTML mail doesn't contribute anything towards a discussion, it only introduces possibilities of email tracking, javascript viruses and bloats the messages sizes 10-fold. >> XanaNews releases >> HTTP://github.com/graemeg/xananews/releases > > Available for all the OS/platforms that FPC supports ?
