Re: [gentoo-user] Re: usenet and web mail
I didn't like it that much. I didn't see an option to thread the responses and I would really like some type of simple killfile to be able to not show the trolls. The best I have found so far is Newega. However Newega is a closed source perl based app and is missing some features I would like. I would really like the app to be open source so I can tweak it to fit my needs. I want kill file support. The only reason I am not happy with thunderbird is because is stinks for killfile support for usenet.

Don't know if it does what you want, but I remember using newsportal (http://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal) sometimes in the past.

Alexander Skwar I will try the one the Etaoin posted. If that doesn't do it, I can VNC in to home from work or I could try to see how fast X11 forwarding would be.

And what would you use then which you cannot run locally? I mean if the only issue is that port 119 is closed then it seems you can do what I do. Create a ton of ssh tunnels and point the news/mail/whatever client towards localhost (and whatever port you forwarded it to). I currently have 8 ssh tunnels running to access external mail, news and irc servers locally. I even created an init script for this... ;) -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The with just forwarding the ports is that I don't get any compression. For example, what would be the ssh command to connect from WORK to HOME and tunnel port 5900 from HOME to WORK so that I can run vnc at WORK to localhost:: and really be connecting to HOME. ssh is listening on port 443 on HOME.

If you can connect to home with a command similar to: # ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] And you wish to connect to newsserver.com at port 119 (news) and mailserver.com at port 143 (imap) which can be reached from home then you can create tunnels to those by: # ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 119:newsserver.com:119 -L 143:mailserver.com:143 After that you just direct your mail and news clients towards localhost as the servername. One way of doing that is to add: 127.0.0.1 newsserver.com mailserver.com to your /etc/hosts. You can add as many tunnels as you want to the same ssh connection by just specifying more -L localport:servername_or_ip:port to the ssh command. Read man ssh for more info on ssh local port forwarding. -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

And you wish to connect to newsserver.com at port 119 (news) and mailserver.com at port 143 (imap) which can be reached from home then you can create tunnels to those by: # ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 119:newsserver.com:119 -L 143:mailserver.com:143 Will ssh tunnel everything over the one connection? newsserver.com and mailserver.com are both really localhost to my HOME machine since I am running those services. So I take it the command below will connect from WORK to HOME and let me get to HOME's ports 119 and 143 from WORK's port 119 and 143? ssh -p 443 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 119:localhost:119 -L 143:localhost:143 After that you just direct your mail and news clients towards localhost as the servername. One way of doing that is to add: I always understood this part. I just couldn't get the -L stuff down. Read man ssh for more info on ssh local port forwarding. Will do.
