posting to my ISP upstream

Hello, 

I think I have sn working mostly correctly. 

One tip I can share is that I found it necessary to recompile xrn after making 
an adjustment to the xrn source internals.c file. All that was necessary was 
to change line 333 from

	getactive(True); 
to
	getactive(False); 

When xrn starts up, the first thing it does is (from the comments in 
internals.c):

 /*                                                                              
  Do a NEWGROUPS command to check for new groups, then start a                  
  background procedure to rescan subscribed groups in the .newsrc.              
  */   

Ok, well, that's the bit I can share that might help someone else in the 
future. 

Question though, when I respond to a news post or when I post a new news 
message, does my post automatically get sent upstreeam to my ISP's news 
server? 

Running snget is well documented (downloading), but I missed the documentation 
on how to send the news upstream (uploading). I did read in SNPOST that 
snntpd calls it:

#This script is invoked by snntpd in response to the POST command.
# Basically it forwards any cancel requests, and invokes snsend on
# the others.

So, I'm hoping the new news messages I create are automatically being sent to 
my ISP's news server. Am I correct? I ask because I haven't yet seen them in 
the news groups I'm downloading. 

Thanks,
