Just to let Gilby know, we are running the 1.9 version of his script and VB 2.2.1 with
www.newsranger.com as our news host using a crontab every 15 minutes with about 9,000 usenet messages (100+ added daily), and everything is running great!
I plan on adding a few mailing lists (with the new SMTP support) sometime this weekend and will let you know how it works.
Thanks for the great hack bro!
P.S. We are on our own dedicated server and have not noticed any spikes is processor usage at all.
