I just updated from CVS and it seemed to run without a problem? Could you
make sure that you updated all the CVS files.

As a side note I played around with NNTP and couldn't seem to get it
working properly. I could post to groups and they got into group spool etc.
However when they were listed I got funny mail names and the mail wasn't
read properly (it cam eback blank). There was no exceptions I noticed but I
will have a better look again a bit later on.

BTW it may also be advisable to place the /var/nntp/* hierarchy beneath the
/apps/james directory as I freaked when I ran it and it created directories
in the real /var/ dir ;)

Cheers,

Pete

I was using Pine and I basically set it to retrieve list of groups on news
server (worked), selected a list and posted to it (worked), reload group
and try to read news elements (had the odd malformed news item).

I will go through the logs again when i have a chance and send them to you
if I can't figure it out ;)

Cheers,

Pete

Had updated the CVS from script. Did not check in the script. Maybe there
was a problem maybe not. I think Avalon should have fewer manual
interventions. Maybe the deployment descriptors would be fewer, maybe some
descriptors could be generated.

There were some problems after the first CVS checking but I thought I had
fixed it.
Here is how I am testing.
- Run the testing\NNTPClient against a known news group server and
newsgroup. It will create a directory with the group name and copy about 10
messages. This verifies that the external newsgroup works. Move the
directory under nntp groups. Start James and NNTP Server in it. Point the
nntp server to the host running James and same newsgroup. It will download
the articles again from the James based NNTP Server.
- Doing manual testing with Outlook Express. (this is my email client).

I just finished trying NNTP with and without SSL. It seemed to work ok.
- Is there a way I could reproduce the problem
- The nntpserver log would contain the list of commands recieved. Maybe
there is some command called that it not correctly implemented. The last
NNTP command in the log file could be a good debugging point.
- What NNTP client are you using.

I have changed this so that the NNTP directories are created under the user
directory. using a different directory create mechaism than the destination
URL to directory mapping mechanism. Need to discover and converge to the
already used mechanism. Will do unless some fixes it before me.
