I thought that Colin Wilson had a news server with Xananews, but I can't find it now. I have never set one up before. Does anyone have any advice on what server program to use (Free/OS is a plus), or general how to go about it?

If you are looking for a free program, we have been using CoffeeLink news server for a couple years. It is written in Java. Doesn't look like there is much activity on the project, but it has been running fine for us on a Linux server. http://sourceforge.net/projects/clnews/ Regards, Steve Tyrakowski www.sct-associates.com Back to top David Clegg Guest Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Newsgroup server Joe Bain wrote: Quote: I thought that Colin Wilson had a news server with Xananews I found this link, but I'm not sure whether Colin is still actively developing it or not. http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d7xananewz2.htm -- Cheers, David Clegg dclegg (AT) gmail (DOT) com http://cc.borland.com/Author.aspx?ID=72299 QualityCentral.

Or is it easiest just to let people use the IP address? -------------- Joe Bain www.iegsoftware.com Back to top Ben Hochstrasser Guest Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Newsgroup server Joe Bain wrote: Quote: How does naming work on nntp? Or is it easiest just to let people use the IP address? There's no such thing as naming on NNTP - the nntp will usually hand out message IDs based on his real name. The clients just connect to an IP address - there is no concept of "virtual" NNTP like we know them in HTTP. Set up an alias in your DNS server (like news.company.com) pointing to your server. -- Ben Back to top Paul Nichols (TeamB) Guest Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2006 10:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Newsgroup server Joe Bain wrote: Quote: We are thinking about creating a newsgroup for our users to work with each other and for us to provide support.
