Hmmm... Suck doesn't do any posting itself. It's only intended for downloading (and filtering) messages from an upstream news server and injecting them into the local news server. It considers posting to be the job of the local news server... So... Is there any way to invoke SNHELLO without also attempting to download all the messages that suck has rejected? Presumably the code to invoke SNHELLO is buried somewhere inside snget (or sngetd?) so an obvious approach would be to figure out a way of telling snget not to attempt any downloads, but just to deal with the contents of .outgoing? -- Cheers, Rick.
