You can try both INN (http://www.isc.org/inn.html) and Diablo
(http://www.openusenet.org/diablo/), though I'd suggest using Diablo. Both
are free, but they aren't terribly easy to configure. You can definately
tell them not to feed up/downstream, though. Diablo has a very active
userbase, but INN's older and probably still larger. You're likely to find
good FAQs and HOWTO's for both.

 We're running a FreeBSD box if that matters.

Well, at XS4ALL we run a news setup of 10+ machines, all running Diablo on
FreeBSD, and they do it very, very well.

[Mailman-Developers] Small nntp server?

[Dale Newfield]

I'm looking to utilize Mailman's Mail-News and News-Mail gateways, but I'm
really not interested in serving any other newsgroups, and I don't
particularly need to push these news articles upstream to anyplace.  (And
I don't want to worry about propogation to subscribers sites, or net-wide
spam, so I think I'd like to serve it all from our box.)

Does anyone have a (free?) unix based nntp server they'd suggest that can
be configured to be stand-alone (no pushing upstream or downstream), and
would handle 10's of local newsgroups and ~1000 subscribers reasonably
well?
