For various traffic/load reasons, we get a news feed via uucp. I'd like to use nntpxfer for a backup feed, ie, if an article doesn't make it here after a few days, get it via nntpxfer. Doing this would require a NEWNEWS command modification that would allow specifying the "since" time *and* a "until" time (ie, send a list of articles that arrived after time xxx and before yyy). It looks like a simple modification to newnews.c - has anyone done it? Any comments? Has anyone done anything with batching and compressing articles before sending them via nntp?
