Here are some ideas for making the authentication system easier to use:
1. Add a web page where we can view all "currently pending" messages.
It should have the usual "Brief | Compact | All" options, with the
default being "Brief". By each one have checkboxes for approve,
defer, reject, etc. just like in the e-mails. This solves two
problems:
A. After posting several messages, I can go to a single page to
approve all of them, rather than individually reply to each of
the emails with the [x].
B. If I accidentally delete or never receive an e-mail I still
have a way to find a message that needs approving.
2. Add support for PGP-signed messages.
3. Allow us to specify the IP address we connect from (for those of us
with static IP's) so that all NNTP traffic from that IP by that
user will be automatically accepted.
4. Modify the NNTP server to support the AUTHINFO command, where users
can submit their LUGNET member number and password to authenticate
themselves. Once the authentication has occurred, accept all posts
from that user where the "From:" line matches the LUGNET member
number.
