Yeah that stupid mistake followed me from a discussion on gnu.emacs.gnu to here. Sorry about the unnecessary noise. I've since corrected it due to Kai's gentle nudges. And it works in this version: (setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool "" (nnspool-spool-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news/") <== corrected (nnspool-nov-directory "/var/spool/slrnpull/news/") (nnspool-active-file "/var/spool/slrnpull/data/active"))) I haven't tried posting yet though. Still have this in an experimental (fake) directory. I don't understand the role of `i' in your scheme and the (setq nnspool-sift-nov-with-sed t) >>From manual: `nnspool-sift-nov-with-sed' If non-`nil', which is the default, use `sed' to get the relevant portion from the overview file. If nil, `nnspool' will load the entire file into a buffer and process it there. Since this is all taking place on local disk, is this sed thing really usefull? And what defines the `relevant portion'. Also since this is a default, wouldn't it be in force anyway without explicit entry in server code? Any tips on getting posting from slrnpull /var/spool/slrnpull/out.going? Is it just as simple as `C-c C-c'
