Supernews always ACCEPTED the messages just fine (240), but they just weren't showing up. I guess that either they have a beef with the way you generate the msgid OR they prefer to generate their own, and their server gets "insulted" by the fact you're offering your own. I don't know.

Most news clients generate their own message ids so I'd guess that there is something with the format that the message id is in. I'm not aware on if there is a standard format for the message id, just that it needs to be unique, but I'll look into it to see if there is one that I was not aware of. It could also be that the supernews server doesn't accept a message id that has the host part of it different from where it's being sent from, so you may want to look at the posts that are made to it and see what the message id looks like. Then use that host for the setting in the nntp gateway.

Sometimes when pulling groups that have an a large number of messages.. generally 25-80 thousand... the httpd process (with php as a module) begins swelling in memory access VERY VERY rapidly.

Hmmm... I hope it's a problem with something other than my code. However, I'll take a look at this when I get a chance and maybe try out some large imports to see if I can duplicate this.

Meanwhile, you can set a limit of how many posts you want per pull per newsgroup by putting the following code before the line that contains (for ($current = $lastmsg+1; $current <= $max; $current++)), about line 90:

	if ($max - $current > 1000) {
		$max = $current + 1000;
	}

If it's a problem with my code, then php will free the memory when it's done executing the script (it may also do this is the problem is elsewhere).

Alrighty... thanks a bunch for your help and continued attention, Gilby! This is a great hack. You should really be compensated for this. Consider having some sort of donation system that parallels vbportals. I say vb portals, because the combination of everything they do to get donations is very successful. Offering betas only if you've donated and the other things they do really does seem to get them more donations than normal.

I've been thinking of possibly calling it "donationware" which simply means if it's useful for you and you can afford to contribute some cash, then please donate. So, if you want to donate, you can use this PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/xclick/busine...r=nntp-gateway
