I am running Cnews + NNTP 1.5.11, and got the following mail from Cnews: old input files: -rw-rw-r-- 1 news 280637 May 21 16:11 nntp.a03117 -rw-rw-r-- 1 news 206615 May 21 16:11 nntp.a05968 recent bad input batches (perhaps worth investigation): -rw-rw-r-- 1 root 90220 May 26 15:17 bad/675285470 ... I am wondering whether I should try to re-run the things and how I could do that. The bad/* batch failed on an illegal Control: header I believe. Thanks an awful lot! -- Kenneth H.

The bad/* batch failed on an illegal Control: >header I believe. Well, you can do a re-run by just moving the bad batch out of "bad" up into the main in.coming directory again. However, there's not much point in bothering. The relaynews/newsrun combination is a bit too conservative about putting things in bad; it shouldn't have bothered in this case. Just ignore it. -- "We're thinking about upgrading from | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology SunOS 4.1.1 to SunOS 3.5." | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
