It is designed for a small, partial +news feed. It is NOT designed to feed 10,000 groups and 3 Gigs of articles +a day. + +This package contains software for copying news from an NNTP server to your +local machine, and copying replies back up to an NNTP server. + +The suck/rpost combination allows you to run your own INN/CNEWS site, +controlling where you get your news, and where you post outgoing articles. +Suck/rpost use only standard NNTP commands that are used by your favorite +news reader (tin, xvnews, strn) such as POST and ARTICLE. If you can use tin +or xvnews against a NNTP site, than you can use Suck/Rpost. |
