YAM-Newsextention: Sends news to newsservers * new: authtification

Since 0.7 this can be used as a stand-alone-nntp-transferprogram.

New options: -n -i added

Did you install YAM2NN ? Couldn`t you send you emails via yam2nn too? 

This software can help you. Just follow these few steps and you can post you 
NGMails.

0. extract nntpsend.lha
1. copy NNTPSend to C: or YAM: or somewhere else in your path
2. makedir YAM:NewsArchive  -- NNTPSend stores the sent mails here 
3. change the AREXX-Script "POST TO USENET" to :
   AmigaDos : {PATH/}nntpsend news.domain.xx : open window (yes): waitforend
(yes)
4. ready

Everytime you want to press send, start "POST TO USENET" first. The news will
be send, but YAM will try to send them to the mailserver too, but can`t do it,
because NNTPSend has moved the mails before. Rebuild your INDEX after this
operation or YAM will not update the outgoing folder.

If you add the option -a to the commandline , nntpsend adds the given argument
to the communication protocoll. Use this to auth yourself to the newsserver.

i.e.   nnptsend -a "authinfo simple username password" -m -r -f senderdomain.de
news.cis.dfn.de

THIS has been checked with the public newsserver from DFN.de . 

If you want to post to a server where you have to auth yourself, check with a
telnet connection to port 119 and the command `help` which authmode you have to
use.

If you add the option -m to the commandline , nntpsend kills the messageid from
yam and lets the newsserver calculate it.

If you add the option -r to the commandline , nntpsend tries to get the
referenceheaders from the originalposting and adds it to the send one.

If you add the option -f to the commandline, you can change your from:
headerline by new one i.e.:

nntpsend -r -m -f senderdomain.de news.fubs.de 

DON`T TYPE: -f senderdomain.de <sender mustermann> news.fubs.de !!!

TYPE: -f "Harry Hirsch <senderdomain.de>" news.fubs.de !!!

If you want to use nntpsend as a standalone-nntp-sender you can add the -i
option to choose the messagefile and -n to choose the newsgroup.

nntpsend -r -m -f "a b <ababc.de>" -i t:mailtemp -n comp.sys.amiga.misc
news.fubs.de
