I think the problem is that just about nobody is running nntp
I for one would /love/ to make some of the mailboxes, where I archive
some private mailing lists, available to people via NNTP (read-only)
-- one list per "news-group". In my opinion, it is a method much
superior to the perversely popular HTML archivers (like mhonarc or the
mailman's component), for example.
Unfortunately, every time I ventured to configure such a set up, I
could not do it in reasonable time and was forced to abandon the effort.
Whereas there are plenty of howtos and manuals for setting up an
IMAP-server with Cyrus, the NNTP is either undocumented, or the
documentation is so old, it refers to obsoleted versions of the
software. If someone using NNTP were to document it, maybe, the
user-base would start growing?
so it didn't get much testing.
Maybe, if Cyrus developers "ate their own dogfood" -- keeping the
archives of this mailing list available via NNTP, for example?..
We actually are using the Cyrus NNTP stuff at CMU, and other than the
bug that I introduced when adding the 'newsgroups' option (since fixed),
it works just fine.
The instructions in doc/install-netnews.html should be sufficient to get
you going.
