I am testing a dnews server. Currently I am configuring the Mail->News
portion. As far as I can tell, the mail is being read from the POP3 box
and being stored in the correct groups. The problem I am having, though,
is that this box has Postfix installed (rather than sendmail), and I believe
it is adding a header which starts with '> From'. It seems that dnews
doesn't like this, as any time I try to read the news in the group, even
though the article count climbs (900 + messages currently), the news server
only returns the "Downloading..." message. An error to the effect of "Corrupt
item..." is generated in the logs regarding the message headers. Is there
a way to change this?
The second problem involves the newsfeed file. This is a suck'ing server
on which I've configured several local groups. Per the directions, I've
added an exclusion rule for the local groups (!testlocal.*) to both the ME
section and the section for the upstream server. When the ME addition is
in place, the server will not allow posting to those groups with an error:
441 Feedrule: No newsgroups matched (testlocal.mysql). If I remove
the rule, it allows posting, but then attempts to get them from the
upstream. Any ideas?
site me
groups *,!*binaries*,!testlocal.*
[generates the above error and does not allow posting]
site me
groups *,!*binaries*
[allows posting, but also causes server to try to suck from upstream]
site $nntp_feeder
groups *,!testlocal.*
Thanks
