Has anyone managed to get the nntp mini-inews and Pnews to behave correctly with Cnews when Cnews says "out of space", or the group(s) being posted to don't exist ? Under the current order, it seems that any such articles vanish into the data-sink (or rather, get ripped to shreds by anne jones and left lying in /tmp). Cnews' inews is painfully slow - I've considered just hacking a wrapper that pastes on a Message-ID and hands it to relaynews, assuming Pnews has it "right" :) - or is this too horrible to contemplate ? As it stands now, with our news machine, the "are you sure you want to post?" question should be changed to "do you have time to wait for inews?" :) A simple cut of the relaynews hack takes much less time to execute. mjr. -- Courage is the willingness of a man to stand up for his beliefs in the face of great odds.
