Should lugnet.com accept 'ihave' nntp messages

mean you're trying to act as another news server to lugnet?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.  You see, I pay for phone calls,
so I don't want to be dialled-up to the internet the whole time I'm
meandering around lugnet reading messages.  My machine runs a server, so it
connects to the internet, pulls all the messages in all the groups I'm
interested in, then hangs up.  It then serves messages to my reader and
accepts posts from me locally, and some time later (when the phone charges
are at their cheapest, as it happens) dials up again and chucks out the
messages to their various targets.

to post, you have to actually post an article directly to the
lugent news server, and not to your local inn.

So it appears, (and so Todd has confirmed in another message).  I can work
around that - I just use a different program to feed messages back to
lugnet.  Unfortunately, the program I use in those circumstances (suck) is
less efficient - taking more time at my end and at teh far end - and doesn't
know what lugnet already has, so adds overhead dealing with everything
lugnet already knows about.  It's still a lot quicker than sitting on teh
phone all the time I'm reading, though.

Thanks for saving me time looking for a non-existent setup fault!

regards, Ian SMith

(...) according to RFC 977: The IHAVE command informs the server that the client has an article whose id is <messageid>. If the server desires a copy of that article, it will return a response instructing the client to send the entire article. If (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
