Hello Pablo,

Ok. I'll have a look at it.

That would be wonderful. I would appreciate that greatly.

No, I have no points or downlinks. I am a leaf node, hanging off a hub.
I have only one uplink whom everything is routed to.

Don't need it if I have no points, correct?

*Everything* goes here.

Don't use uucp. Only because I can't get it running.

I don't follow this line.

Yeah, except the user:group did not have permission to write to the out
directory. When I deleted all permissions, and re-installed ifmail again
from scratch it finally worked.

I suppose so.

What's -gh? I'm using -gn

Well, I think I must have re-invented a new way to make it work. I have
a user called ifmail in /etc/passwd. I don't know whether it's being
used or not. I think I just got lucky and fluked it.

> the news server is run as user 'news', so 'news' needs to be able
I haven't got news running. Both cnews and inn conflict with nntpcache
'cause they all want to use port 119.

I only use nntpcache cause I don't want to drag in megs of mail. I only
want the actual requested articles dragged in (saves lots of money!). If
I could have cnews or inn work the same way that would solve lots of
problems.

In any case, whether it's configured right or wrong (probably wrong), it
seems to be working at the moment.
