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

Great work. Installation went very smoothly. Binary attachments aren't that important for me. I'm still playing abit around.
A great feature would be, that Usenet posters would be given the title Usenet guest or so automatically.

I needed to do this to the code to be able to understand it ..
it sorts out the counting problem (fetchlimit=1 also works) ... the console output I added '+1' text to confirm...and now reads Fetching headers of articles 46866+1 to 46915... I still get NO threads populated the above '+1' issue needs to be resolved. Code:
post_outgoing_t($c,\$newsgroup);
my ($svrfirstmsg,$svrlastmsg,$tmp) = $c->group($newsgroup->{newsgroup});
if ($newsgroup->{lastmsg} eq 0) {
$newsgroup->{lastmsg} = $svrfirstmsg; }
elsif ($newsgroup->{lastmsg} > $svrlastmsg) {
$newsgroup->{lastmsg} = $svrlastmsg; }
$batch_end = $newsgroup->{lastmsg}+$config{batch_limit};
if ($batch_end > $svrlastmsg) {
$batch_end = $svrlastmsg; }
console("Getting article batch from $newsgroup->{newsgroup}\n");
if ($svrlastmsg > $batch_end) .......

Those message numbers are not guaranteed to be incremental. Articles are requested from the server based on the current pointer within the group. The server will return the next available message number, NOT the next sequential message number.
As far as the other problem, hold off posting reams of logs and give me a chance to get home and have a look at it. I'd advise everyone else to wait a few hours before installing... unless it's too late

Also, using big red text demanding that things need resolving doesn't really motivate me to go out of may to fix this.

This release fixes one major bug and suppresses the new annoying feature of the new DBD::MySQL module.
v20010713 (for 2.01)
If you installed v20010712 last night or today, you just need to replace the newnews.pl and run the SQL in the upgrade script to fix the control panel typo. Download Here
