It seems the spammers are the only ones that know how to post to newsgroups without having an NNTP server and associated files in perfect order :-(. What I'm looking for is a "stand alone" program that I can use for one-by-one submissions from text files that contain one article per file, or perhaps something with a batch capability that will allow me to cat the files together. If tornado has such a capability, I'll use it. Comp.dcom.telecom isn't high traffic, just 5 to 20 posts/day, but the real work happens before posting, since the moderator gets ~600 service messages a day, all blowback from Joe-job spam. Still, stuff piles up. (Excuse me while I vent). All ideas welcome. Bill -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
