Post to nntp groups from nnimap

[Ilpo Nyyssönen]

I'm playing with reading nntp news via imap. How can I get the posting
to work directly to given nntp server for those nnimap groups?

Which news-servers support that?

Wrong question. You should ask which IMAP servers support that. The only
I know of is UW IMAP, but I haven't tried that. I have been creating my
own.

The point is to have the flags in the IMAP server and the article data
in the news server.

Sorry.

It was not obvious to me from your description that it had to be an
IMAP-server that gave access to news and not a newsserver that provided
an IMAP-interface.

My wrong question was probably due to the fact that I don't care for
IMAP-servers, while I do use newsservers.

Ah, okay.

Aha. I guess your own IMAP-server must interface to the newsserver
somehow?
