  • Peering Update

    From Howard Sherman@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 23 23:26:10 2022
    I was trying out a beta emal client that blew away all of my mail for
    days.

    THANK YOU! to everyone who stepped up and agreed to peer with us!

    I can't contact you (SENT FOLDER cratered too! doh!) so please reach
    out to me if you're from:

    nk.ca
    newslysator.liu.se
    samoylyk.net
    szaf.org

    And there's one more that I couldn't even get to before his mail went
    POOF

    I'm on the last step with the conf files and struggling with
    newsfeeds.confs.

    Anybody want a paid gig to get me across the finish line and get this
    server running for me? I'm totally serious!

    Thank you all for being so welcoming and supportive.

    Hey Howard, what kind of issue are you having with newsfeeds? Typically
    I don't mess with that file except to add the newsfeeds for new peers.
    Most new to INN assume this file also controls what newsgroups their
    server accepts, but that is primarily the function of the active file.

    There are lots of people running INN here, and also in
    news.software.nntp, if you provide some details about where you are
    stuck perhaps we can help out.

    I just revived my USENET server after being offline a few years. I'd be
    happy to peer with you. You can find my details at https://usenet.blueworldhosting.com.

    Regards,

    Jesse

    Hi Howard,

    I'm on the last step with the conf files and struggling with
    newsfeeds.confs.

    Could you try to read the beginning ("In a nutshell" section) of:
    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/newsfeeds.html

    And watch that video :-)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71ENBZTL0YY



    I would be happy to know how the newsfeeds documentation above (or any
    other documentation) could be improved: what is not clear enough? how
    would you have expected it to be explained?


    Another useful CHECKLIST to look at:
    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/checklist.html
