Hi Rich,   
      
   Btw, if you want to run those scripts from cron, this is user bbs's cronfile   
   for tossing mail.  The first line sends an email to bbs@filegate.net's email   
   folder when the job is run:   
      
   === "cronfile.bbs"===   
   MAILTO=bbs@filegate.net   
   */45 * * * *  /home/bbbs/mailin.sh      # toss mail   
   42 13-14 * * *  /home/bbbs/getnews.sh   # pack mail   
   =====end cronfile.bbs======   
      
   Scanning and packing is done I get in newsgroups from mixmin.net, a free   
   newsgroup server.   
      
   =="getnews.sh"==   
   #!/bin/sh   
   cd /home/bbbs   
   ./bbbs bnntp w 1 news.mixmin.net   
   ./bbbs bnntp r 1 news.mixmin.net   
   ./bbbs bogus r   
   ==end getnews.sh==   
      
   To set up picking up newsgroups, you have to set the NNTP host in bcfg4   
   ->conferences to the number of the host (like 1 if you only use 1 host):   
      
   Global: Conferences   
   [...]   
    NNTPhost: 1   
   [...]   
   [X]  Fido area (make sure this is set to gate the newsgroup)   
      
   Your best bet is to read about bnntp in sysop.gui :) That will show you all   
   the commands, for bnntp.   
      
   bbs@filegate:~$ ./bbbs bnntp   
      
   Usage: BBBS BNNTP W [host0] {host1} {host2} {...}     Receive news from hosts   
          BBBS BNNTP R [host0] {host1} {host2} {...}     Send news to hosts   
          BBBS BNNTP Z [host0] {host1} {host2} {...}     Reset "want" pointers   
          BBBS BNNTP S [host] [localname] [#_of_msgs]    Set "want" pointer   
          BBBS BNNTP C [host] [localname] [#_of_msgs]    Set "want", no dupes   
          BBBS BNNTP G [host] [filename] Get arealist   
          BBBS BNNTP L Export conf->email msgs   
      
      
   Take care,
