Are you trying to post directly to a remote nntp server, or are you trying to post to your local server and have it feed the articles to a remote server? Is the mail coming from your system, or from the remote one? > Do I have to have an up-to-date /var/lib/news/active file? If you are posting to your local server, all the groups you post to must exist on your system (/usr/lib/news/ctl/newgroup to create them) and be in your active file. The active file need not contain any groups you don't use. I operate a cnews leafnode which feeds off my isp. Email me if you have more questions. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
