Do you know of any free ones?

James T Brock 10-19-2004 05:36 AM

No, unfortunately I don't. Though I'm sure that if you search Google for "free NNTP usenet" you'll find some. Here's one I found a few days ago: http://news.individual.net

They're free. I registered with them to use as a backup news server. They need to manually set-up your account, I registered a few days ago and haven't heard back from them yet.

anyway of making it use the quote system when they are qutoing in the newserver? For example it does this

>Lets look at what the
>word of God has to say. This is going to be a series of posts but
>today lets start with first Corinthians.

and i want it to do something like this

In the feature release, I intend to use the traditional Usenet way of quoting, which is ">" etc. It will be much easier to reply a post without insert all the BB codes for each quote tags.

It is technically possible to convert ">"s into Quotes, but people do use other type of prefix for quotes on Usenet. ...and also, you may end up with too many level of quotes if the posts contain ">>>>>>>>".

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Maybe something in my settings wasn't done right? For organization I have my domain name and I have this for the email; "no-mx.forums.MyDomain.com"

With MyDomain being my sites real domain. is that corrent, or should the syntax be emailAddress@mydomain.com?

This setting will not affect the functionality. The reason I added no-mx is to avoid your email servers getting hit with all the spam attempts.

Your problem is probably caused by the server not letting you to post.

If not no biggie,

Thanks again for all the hard work,

It is perhaps easier to educate the users to identify them by looking at the user name, to see if it is clickable.

The USENET posts post only once, but in my statistics box on teh main page, it doubles the amount of posts by all the posts in my rec.gambling.poker forum.

http://www.goodpokerforums.com/ is my forum.

If the script failed on you in the past. You may need to reset the counter using the vB adminCP.

I got my webhost to open port 119 for outgoing but my posts still aren't propagating to usenet. I logged in to my host via telnet and went to news.giganews.com on port 119. I was able to read posts *and* submit posts to usenet without any problems. Doesn't that mean that port 119 is open for outgoing traffic and I should be able to post from my forum???

I would like to try something else. Could I connect to giganews.com from another port, such as port 80 and post and read messages? if I wanted to do that, where would I find the 119 in the script and change it? I checked nntp.php and gateway.php and saw one instance of port 119 in each, would that be all that is required to connect via port 80 instead of 119?

Awesome script. I am setting it up to reply to a mailing list, is it possible to have the script always email out with the same email address?

Example: forumuser <permuser@domain.com>

forumuser will change but the email will not.

Thanks :)
