I'd love to see a Usenet version of this group. One of the groups I frequent (the groupstudy cert lists), has the ability to post two way via mail/web/nntp. I really like the NNTP format, keeps a lot of mail off my HD and makes it much easier to follow old threads. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Vixie" <vixie@vix.com> To: <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2001 3:10 PM Subject: Re: the group
I wouldn't consider gatewaying nanog into usenet land (even one way) to
be
the world most constructive exercise...
I do. I read NANOG in a private local newsgroup. It only works one-way -- to post, I have to send mail to nanog@merit.edu and so my address has to be entered on the nanog-post list. KILL files are wonderful. /etc/aliases says:
local-mail-net-nanog: |"/news/local/mailpost -d local local.mail.net.nanog"
i've put a copy of "mailpost" at http://www.vix.com/~vixie/mailpost.txt. it's really a perl script, 324 lines long, written by me back in 1992 or so.
