  • Re: [flnews 1.1.0] Cancel-Lock/Key?

    It's written that flnews can generate Cancel-Lock and Cancel-Key when
    a file ~/.cancelsecret exist but nothing happen is there is something
    to configure after or when compiling flnews?

    <https://micha.freeshell.org/flnews/doc/flnews.1.html>

    | If this file is present and not empty, and the
    | fqdn entry is set, flnews creates "Cancel-
    | Lock" (always) and "Cancel-Key" header fields
    | when canceling or superseding articles.

    and:

    | o fqdn (String) Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the machine
    |
    | Must be empty or a valid "dot-atom" according to RFC 5322, this
    | means the nameless root domain must be omitted (no trailing dot).
    |
    | This entry is used to generate Message-IDs. They are only worldwide
    | unique for all time if flnews runs on a machine with a FQDN. In
    | addition the clock of the machine must be synchronized so that time-
    | stamps are not ambigous.
    |
    | If a FQDN is configured, the header fields "Message-ID", "Injection-
    | Date", "Cancel-Lock" and "Cancel-Key" (only when cancelling or
    | superseding an article) are created by flnews for all outgoing arti-
    | cles. Note that RFC 5537 specifies some nasty details for the "Injec-
    | tion-Date" header field (they are the reason to handle it internally
    | in this case).

    Hi,

    It's written that flnews can generate Cancel-Lock and Cancel-Key when
    a file ~/.cancelsecret exist but nothing happen is there is something
    to configure after or when compiling flnews?

    I think, this fonctionnality should be active by default.

    FYI, for this message, the Cancel-Lock is added by the server.

    It is in the file ~/.config/flnews/configfile
    I've just found this file...
    But it is written somewhere in the man?

    HTH

    Yes thanks a lot!

    Relevant files used by flnews are documented in the section "FILES".

    Note: The manual page on the homepage still contains some bugs that are
    already fixed in current 1.2.0 snapshots. If you have such a snapshot installed, "man flnews" will display a more recent manual version.
