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

There's one other problem: It doesn't work with the "who's posted" feature. When I click on the reply count for a thread it says the thread starter has all the posts!

I guess that would make sense. I don't allow guest posting so I didn't know

I remember something about allowing users to have a different Usenet signature, but can't find this in the install files...
