Description:
This hack provides a gateway to selected usenet groups. The entire usenet group is mirrored locally. Posts submitted locally to mirrored newsgroups will also be sent out to usenet. A single perl script is executed via cron that collects news and posts any outgoing articles. Incoming messages are parsed against customizable spam filters and threaded correctly before being placed in your forums. By default, no personal information is sent to usenet other than the posters username and whatever you have globally configured as a footer and organization. The option does exist for a user to include a custom email to use for usenet posts. After initial installation (which involves creating some new tables, adding a few columns to existing vB tables, and entering the database connection information to the news script) configuration is completed via the vB control panel.
Current version is 20020323 for vB2.xx Current feature list:
Main Options More Options Configuration of Newsgroups Add New Newsgroups Spam Control What an imported usenet article looks like in vB The latest version of this hack will always be in this first post of the thread. Before asking questions in this thread, please read all the posts in this thread. If your question goes unanswered, it will probably be because the question has already been answered countless times in this thread. This hack was created for use on my forums and will only be supported as time permits. Links to required Perl Modules Show Your Support

It simply means you do not have permission to access the nntp server (news.mindspring.com).

Yea, I figured that out. Thanks though.
I'm having trouble finding news servers with lots of posts, that allow posting, and are free. Could anyone give me any suggestions for good usenet servers? |

I've had very good service from http://www.newscene.com/ They offer month to month at US$13/mo.
I spent a considerable amount of time experimenting with free news feeds. For me the time involved in keeping an eye on them and then searching for new ones when the one you are using decides to go off line for a week or two at time, was a pain and cost me way more than $13/mo. On top of that Newscene knows that I'm pulling news for vBulliten and they said no problem and that they would work with me on spam issues that may arise. So far I have not allowed posting from our BBS to Usenet, I was waiting on the moderated usenet post fix from Paul. Health issues kept me from updating till now. I'm planning to upgrade to the latest unsent hack this weekend. I'll keep everyone informed if I run into any posting problems with Newscene.com Cheers! |

I was pretty much out of action for over a month, but I'm back in the game. I just finished upgrading to vB 2.0.3 last weekend and this coming weekend I hope to make the upgrade to the latest usenet hack.
I did get the e-mail that you sent weeks ago with instructions for adding the moderated post fix. I was out of commission and just couldn't get to it then. I'm looking forward to this weekend. ![]() |

I'm having problems with messages showing up in raw form. I've set mime decoding for ISO-8859-1 and it still doesn't work:

What you're seeing is the result of users not complying with Usenet etiquette. They're probably using Netscape or Outlook to post news without bothering to configure it. |
