I wonder how come that nobody commented on this alternative? Is anyone out there using this? How does it work? Does anyone have experience with this versus doing the shared folder thing via IMAP? It would also be interesting to hear from people using an NNTP for group-local communication, without that extra offline stuff. Maybe I can learn from it whether it is time-intensive to maintain your own NNTP server installation, what do people do about emails (we have mail aliases which send to bboard+shared.folder@imap-server so that mails from outside partners end up in IMAP; I gather that a mail-to-news gateway, while possible, is not quite as trivial). kai -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
