Hi All, In an effort to avoid creating problems for myself, I'm asking first before diving in ... I have a requirement to set up a nntp server. Partially as a local cache, to provide as huge a retention time as I can afford disc space for, but also to give out external access to. requirements are basically... ability to fetch via NNTP from several configured news servers (ie, not using a push feed) automatically fetch groups that are used; ignore groups that are not accessed. (this all to reduce bandwidth requirements!) have script-configurable user accounts with arbitary monthly download limits. be secure enough to open a port through the firewall to it from the Internet I've been looking at Dnews, but the price is a touch off-putting, and I've not delved far enough into the docs to determine if I can set download limits on user account yet.. So.. basically, is there anything anybody can recommend that will do what I want? Thanks in advance, Rob.
