INN needs a way to send mail (something providing mail-transport-agent).
exim is just the Debian default. You can pick any other package that
provides mail-transport-agent (apt-cache search mail-transport-agent may
help).

(It has to be able to send mail to submit posts to moderated newsgroups,
and also by default to send you nightly reports.)

If you don't otherwise need a mail transport agent on that system,
nullmailer and ssmtp both try to be as minimal and easy to set up as
possible.

Arch is Debian. Goal is to set up inn to serve some local groups and to
feed with other nntp hosts with a few text groups.

When I try to apt-get install inn or inn2 the package manager wants to
pull down and install exim4. Why does inn need exim packages?

Can I install inn or inn2 without exim4? I really do not want this
mailer on my server as I already have dovecot set up and running and I
don't want to spend a month of Sundays learning the internals of exim.

How may I proceed to install and set up inn without this extra bloat?

As an alternative would there be some other nntp server that fits my requirements, that does not require studying for a new virtual degree
just to install it?

Install a different package that provides mail-transport-agent first (or

I'll argue that INN itself doesn't /need/ an MTA. The INN /package/ on
Debian apparently is configured to require an MTA, even if the

package maintainer's decisions.

It can use names which are resolved to IPs as well as UUCP. Neither of

I agree that the strict requirement for INN is ... sub-optimal.

But I have an MTA on every single Unix system that I administer if for
nothing other than getting emails from cron or the ability to pipe
command output into mail so that I can send myself notes.

Note: Having an MTA does not mean that the system is an email server.

I see. Do some sysops require a static IP before they will agree to

I assume that most news masters will want a static IP. Some news
masters are more flexible and willing to work with peers. I don't
/know/ what the actual ratio is.

I think that INN needs to be kicked in the bits (HUP?) or even restarted
to see names resolve to new IPs.

For peerings using the NNTP protocol people usually require static a IP.
An NNTP peering with a dynamic IP can become unstable if the address
changes.

Peerings using the UUCP protocol works well with dynamic IP addresses,
so this is usually the better choice when dynamic IPs are involved.

I use msmtp myself (but the host on which inn2 is installed also has

I can see arguments either way, but I'm also not the package maintainer
and therefore don't have to make that decision. :) You could file a bug against the Debian package and see if you can convince Marco.

This issue has just come up for me. I've setup a new innd server and
currently have one peer and I'd like to add a few more non-binary
peers (feel free to contact me), however my ipv4 is dynamic however my
ipv6 is static, but, of course, not everyone has ipv6.

Now, whenever my IP changes, my router instantly updates the DNS via
nsupdate and I have a short ttl on the domain name. Is that likely to
be an issue?

I'd be happy to setup uucp but does anyone use it any more? It's
probably 30 years since I last tinkered with is, so it'll be a learning process, again.

Nigel

INN hangs on to peer IP addresses for incoming.conf forever. Best
practices (implemented by at least the Debian inn2 package and probably
others) is to periodically reload incoming.conf (such as from cron) to
pick up new IP addresses. Given that, you probably won't have a problem, although it will vary by peer.

I still have to solve all of my problems with inn config for my strange

There's a couple of ways BBS's are using newsfeeds these days. One of
them is as a fido group that's propagated through the FTN method. This
is what I was using on my BBS until my uplink shut down his news
service account.

With Synchronet, the method I'll be using is to import newsgroups into
an echo group so members can read usenet just like any other echo
group. I dount any of them are using uucp and most of us that are
getting newsfeeds are probably using one of two other sysop's feeds
which is why I want to find some independent ones.

I still have to solve all of my problems with inn config for my

If you're wanting to peer, I'm fine with that. My feeder didn't have
the original article so I'm not sure what your issue may be.

Yes, Synchronet provides a nntp gateway which makes it reasonably simple: http://wiki.synchro.net/module:newslink

You can connect to an nntp server and keep your echo in sync with the server and read/post as normal. It works pretty well, is use it myself.

1. Install inn from source and not have to deal with any of that. Plus
you get the latest and greatest.

2. Make use of the equivs package, which will basically allow you to

To be clear, my point is that INN is normally installed to reload
incoming.conf from cron on some schedule (often nightly), which will fix
all of the peers of that host. So it's not something special for you, but
it may be broken for up to a day depending on the schedule (and some INN
sites may not run such a cron job).

In case you set up a UUCP feed, you can have a look at the instructions
in the "Setting up UUCP feeds" section here:

In case you see any improvements to add to that documentation, do not

The usenet server is behind a NAT (gosh horror) so as far as it's
