news.software.b is a Usenet newsgroup where INN is discussed.

>From the FAQ, part1:

------------------------------

Subject:  Where can I get the latest copy of this FAQ?

0.  If you are reading this document, then you already have part 1 of it.
	So look around where you found this if the other parts are also there.

1.  This four-part FAQ is available via FTP at any FTP site that carries
    INN itself.

2.  This FAQ is also posted to news.software.nntp, news.software.b and
	news.answers about every 10 days.

3.  A htmlized version can be found under 
	<http://www.unibe.ch/~guggis/faqs/inn>;

4.  You can also get this FAQ by sending email to md@pilhuhn.de 
    with "get file faq-inn-1" on the first line of the message.  (the 
	Subject: of the message will be ignored.)
	(Substitute faq-inn-2, faq-inn-3 or faq-inn-4 to get those parts).
! 	Please be a little bit patient. If you don't get an answer within 
	two minutes don't rerequest the files. It will take some minutes to
	process your request. If you are to impatient, then you'll get two
	copies.

For example:

echo get file faq-inn-1 | mail md@pilhuhn.de
echo get file faq-inn-2 | mail md@pilhuhn.de
echo get file faq-inn-3 | mail md@pilhuhn.de
echo get file faq-inn-4 | mail md@pilhuhn.de

or

% mail md@pilhuhn.de
Subject: ignored
get file faq-inn-1
get file faq-inn-2
get file faq-inn-3
get file faq-inn-4
^D

or if you csh and are a total nerd, you can:
	echo 'get file faq-inn-'{1,2,3,4}@ \
		| tr @ '\012' | mail md@pilhuhn.de

...or get a real hobby.
