Thanks, apparently they are - I can retrieve them in the slypheed
claws log(I'm using sylpheed under MS-Windows and Linux).

I used the snntp shell wrapper as described in the install files:

BINDIR/snntpd 2>&1|usr/bin/logger -p news.info

with my path instead of BINDIR, of course.

I would have expected to find logger writing into a log called
"news.info" but I did'nt - it just shows in my sys.log. I never
knew of "logger" previously, however. Will change the above line
to BINDIR/snntpd just to see what happens. Thanks for your
comments:-).
