  • mailpost -d option and debugging

    From jdanield@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 5 17:32:35 2022
    I try to make mailpost work. It's pretty hard because mailpost is half
    news half mail, so the work have to be done as root and logs are spread everywhere

    my notes:

    http://dodin.me/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.ConfigurerINN-2021#toc-9.1.a

    on a more precise one, "-d local" as said here:

    https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/inn/docs/mailpost.html

    gives error messages and block the post.

    mail to nobody (root)

    Bonsoir Jean-Daniel,

    inews failed: inews: cannot send article to server: 441 437 Unwanted distribution "local" inews: article not posted

    Didn't you explicitly refuse articles with "local" distribution in the
    ME entry of your newsfeeds file?

    in fact

    ME:!*/!local,!collabra-internal::

    seems to be default (I don't remember having made anything here)

    so probably remove !local

    but why do other list works (linux-31)?

    additionally, what is this collabra-internal?

    thanks

    Netscape Collabra Server was a NNTP server. I think it was known to create control messages with that distribution when newsgroups were created or
    removed locally.
