But if you're subscribed to the lists, where spam takes a large amount of traffic, using gmane for them is the thing, I wouldn't recommend. Local spamassassin does help me much better, then Gmane spam filtering (yeah, I know, I can ``report as spam'' and such -- but using a dial-up it's really not comfortable). 2. I believe, switching to Gmane won't save you time, while fetching your mail. Likely it'd be vice versa, because your mailbox is supposed to be closer to you -- and faster (if it isn't so, you _really_ should change the e-mail provider). > Can you post here your solution to help me setup this as soon as > possible ? Is gnus agent feature a good solution when using gmane or > should I disable it (partially or totally) ? I have always recommended setting up a local newsserver. E.g. Leafnode is very easy to set up and really fits for dial-up or alike. -- I accept RFC3156 and RFC2440-compatible encrypted mail. PGP key fingerprint: 3273 7F6F 7B87 5DD5 9848 05FB E442 86BC 2E6B 6831
