Hi, The getgroups command will obtain the list of groups that are available on the server, although this may not be a complete list (Some may be hidden to clients), and it doesn't guarantee there actually are articles in the group that could be sent to you. All the getgroup command does is connect as a server and use the 'list' command, which in most cases will work even if you only have ihave access.
The server can offer to send you any article from any group by message ID, and your server will either accept or reject it based on that ID. This feed may only actually offer a subset of groups available via the 'getgroups' command, as it is usually configured independently (in the case of DNews at least). - Roydon L. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > "Netwin Support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schreef in bericht > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Hi Roydon, > > Is't not possible after a *getgroups* to see which groups the feed send to > me ? > > CU, Rob > > > > > > The concept of offered groups doesn't really apply since messages are > > offered by Message ID, not the groups they are in.
