As for alternate protocals going over Freenet, I realized that Freenet would be
ideal for netnews distribution. This would require a set of new messages which
are not currently part of the Freenet protocal. Note that these messages
should be passed on if a node doesn't recognize or use them. They should also
be caught and then passed on by nodes that use them. There are two different
methods of distribution - push and pull. Push is used by nodes to send
articles to other nodes. Pull is used by clients to request news articles from
nodes.
The new messages would be:
NewsSend
UniqueID=unique id for this message (remembered to eliminate cycles)
DataLength=length of article
Data
full Usenet article
NewsgroupRequest
UniqueID=unique id for this message
Newsgroups=glob for newsgroups ('*' for all newsgroups)
EndMessage
NewsgroupReply
UniqueID=unique id (same as for corresponding request)
Newsgroups=newsgroups,...
EndMessage
NewsListRequest
UniqueID=unique id for this message
Newsgroups=list of newsgroups
OldTimeDate=articles returned are equal or later than this (optional)
EndMessage
NewsListReply
UniqueID=unique id (same as for corresponding request)
Articles=(id, date, from, subject, (newsgroups,...)),...
EndMessage
NewsArticleRequest
UniqueID=unique id for this message
ID=message id (netnews - not Freenet UniqueID) requested
EndMessage
NewsArticleReply
UniqueID=unique id (same as for corresponding request)
DataLength=length of article
Data
full Usenet article

Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
Now I'm not sure if it is even Sendmail - I know it isn't mutt because error
messages returned by Sendmail have my *correct* email address on them.
My email address is really bemann at execpc.com.
