Short: Send news to newsservers (e.g. YAM2NN) Author: Cyborg@eanet.de Uploader: polluks+aminet sdf lonestar org (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: comm/tcp Version: 0.7b Replaces: nntpsend.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos [ Note from Aminet admin: this upload only fixes an older package which ] [ contained an Lha inside an Lha and a wrong version number in the ] [ readme file. ] YAM-Newsextention: Sends news to newsservers * new: authtification Since 0.7 this can be used as a stand-alone-nntp-transferprogram. New options: -n -i added Did you install YAM2NN ? Couldn`t you send you emails via yam2nn too? This software can help you. Just follow these few steps and you can post you NGMails. 0. extract nntpsend.lha 1. copy NNTPSend to C: or YAM: or somewhere else in your path 2. makedir YAM:NewsArchive -- NNTPSend stores the sent mails here 3. change the AREXX-Script "POST TO USENET" to : AmigaDos : {PATH/}nntpsend news.domain.xx : open window (yes): waitforend (yes) 4. ready Everytime you want to press send, start "POST TO USENET" first. The news will be send, but YAM will try to send them to the mailserver too, but can`t do it, because NNTPSend has moved the mails before. Rebuild your INDEX after this operation or YAM will not update the outgoing folder. If you add the option -a to the commandline , nntpsend adds the given argument to the communication protocoll. Use this to auth yourself to the newsserver. i.e. nnptsend -a "authinfo simple username password" -m -r -f sender@domain.de news.cis.dfn.de THIS has been checked with the public newsserver from DFN.de . If you want to post to a server where you have to auth yourself, check with a telnet connection to port 119 and the command `help` which authmode you have to use. If you add the option -m to the commandline , nntpsend kills the messageid from yam and lets the newsserver calculate it. If you add the option -r to the commandline , nntpsend tries to get the referenceheaders from the originalposting and adds it to the send one. If you add the option -f to the commandline, you can change your from: headerline by new one i.e.: nntpsend -r -m -f sender@domain.de news.fubs.de DON`T TYPE: -f sender@domain.de news.fubs.de !!! TYPE: -f "Harry Hirsch " news.fubs.de !!! If you want to use nntpsend as a standalone-nntp-sender you can add the -i option to choose the messagefile and -n to choose the newsgroup. nntpsend -r -m -f "a b " -i t:mailtemp -n comp.sys.amiga.misc news.fubs.de History: 0.8 -authinfo option added! 0.7b -bugfixes should normaly be bugfree or .... 0.7a -minor bugfix with mutlicast-news ala c.s.a.m@news,c.s.a.c@news ... 0.7 - new options: -n -i added 0.6b - References not build correct 0.6a - References build by yam2nn`s nntp-headers - Option: -r -f added 0.5 -added messageid option 0.4b - some cosmetics 0.4a - fixed some sendmailerrors 0.4 - new sendmailfile - added references: header - added newshost to msgidheader - deleted to: header - deleted reply-to: header - new newsarchive structure. 0.3 Did not change the nntpsend.count value.
