Simple STDIN to news poster. I wrote it as a replacement to rnews for one of tasks in my environment . License is GNU GPL. Difference w/ rnews: 1. Does NOT require msgid in your data - presumes it's generated by news server. Though you may supply correct msgid in your text. 2. Does NOT log msgid of posted messages. Though it'll be present in one of debug files, if you turned on debugging (after 'recommened ID') . 3. Does NOT store messages that where failed to post. 4. Accepts data to post ONLY from STDIN. 5. Does NOT require nor open any innd configs - you may have no innd and be able to post w/ this script to other destinations. 6. Does NOT understand batch format: ALL data from STDIN 'll be posted as message. Other bonuces: 1. Config options support customisation of 'Newsgroups:' 'From:' 'Subject:' 'X-Comment-To:' 'Content-Type:' 'Content-Transfer-Encoding:' 'X-Flags:' 2. ANY config file OPTION MAY be OVERRIDEn via command line switch (including above Keywords. 3. Adequate defaults for koi8-r users for 'Content-Type:','Content-Transfer-Encoding:' . =) 4. As much as it possible w/ perl ( huh! :) ) this script shouldn't eat memory on big files - it parses them line by line w/o loading all the file into memory. =) Note that password-based authentification is not supported (I use host based), though if people'll ask for it I'll implement (same for msg-id logging).
