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...

a shocked Tom

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.

bringing back the usenet discussion.

At the moment i am using spamkillers.usenet.com

The main reason is it seems to work ok but secondly the company does NOT have my credit card. Some credit card intermediary does, ibill i think and having dealt with these people for my script they do everything and i mean everything in the consumer's favour. If you emailed them after using your service for probably 2 months and said "i don't like this, it is not what i expected, i want a refund" they would give you one. No kidding.

What is the point, the point is that if something ***did*** go wrong there is nothing that this company could do about it. They couldn't just charge you some crazy hourly charge for their clean up operation. Of course this should not stop you making it happen but it does reduce your liability. The only thing they can really do is email your isp/webhost provider about it. They are likely to be more understanding.

Despite this we are of course all breaking the TOS. If anyone wants to poll a commercial feed then i am definitely up to contribute. If we can get one for $100 a month and 10 of us pay $10 we are doing well. Our bandwidth is going to be insignificant with most people having less than 25 newsgroups, i would imagine on average that is what, 10MB a day absolute maximum. It would require one person to sign up and the rest of us to send in $10 a month. (although whether you are allowed to resale is another point!).

I am so nearly there

last thing. What would be the code i need to get this to run via cron but to create a log file of the output of the shell script (so i can check it is running properly).

i can work out the cron time bit but do i just add > /path/to/log.txt sort of thing?

To generate a log from your cron job use something like this:
Code:
0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * nice -20 /home/dbforums/newnews.pl >/var/log/misc/newnews.log 2>&1
If you want the output emailed to you, just leave the redirection bits off completely. The output will be mailed to the owner of the cron job.
