Hi together,
I installed the script and everything works fine, my users love it -
now some of the usenet - users told me they will sue me if I copy their post to my forum!
I thought usenet was public???
Is there any chance that I can use X-NoArchive: Yes or exlude by posters mail adress?

BTW, I use the gateway read only to avoid problems with the newsgroup - I just don't get it...
The newsgroup deals with cycling, the other with mountainbiking...

Once they submitted their post to usenet they submitted it to the public domain. Threaten to counter sue for wasting your time
You think Google and the bazillion other usenet/mailing list archives are paying royalties to everyone?

It is could manners to comply with the x-noarchive flag though (even though this isn't required as part of the usenet RFC). I'll add the option to the script.
