Hi everybody,

their are some things which we should keep in mind before we should use this addon, like the following restrictions which you find on most (german) newservers:

Users of the newsserver are expected to follow this set of rules.
Disregarding the rules may cause termination of access privileges without further notice.

Accurate Sender Address
The e-mail addresses in From:, Reply-To:, and Sender: fields must belong to you and they have to be valid. Using identifiers of other individuals without their permission or e-mail addresses that will bounce is not permitted. (For more details see paragraph 5.3 of the FAQ.)


No Control Messages
Users are not allowed to post control messages at this server. The only exception is to cancel your own articles.

Gilby?s fabulous hack doesn?t include the origin real email-adresses of the boardmembers to the postings which are being send to the newsgroups.
This is a serious problem in most countries and newsgroups and one of the bigger offenses you can run into..

I just don?t know how, but - in smple words - would it be that difficult to read out the eMail-adresses from the db so that Gilby?s addon can generate the valid emailadresse like

From: "Marvin Brandon" <marvin.brandon@gmx.de>

Does anyone has a glue how we could solve this ? Any suggestions ?


Another question..:
In point 2 of the newsserver rules they talk about "No Control Messages ". Is this NNTP-gateway script doing something like that ?

Marv.
