Usenet posting

[Ragbal]

Hello everybody,

I'm in search for a good usenet posting program to use on Ubunu Server, can anyone make a suggestion?

Thnx in advance!

Having tried a few, some of which I have felt a dislike like no other for, I now use Pan and can recommend it - see http://pan.rebelbase.com/features/

Thnx for your reply, but it seems that the software is not for console. I'm searching for a console program

Two recommendations, but neither are perfect:

pine : http://www.washington.edu/pine

The big problem with pine is the licensing. Otherwise a great program. Adding usenets and posting is a cinch. I've been using pine for usenet reading/posting for about 10 years.

emacs : http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs

Emacs can be run with the '-nw' option to use a terminal (rather than X). The emacs mode/program you want is 'gnus'. There is a bit of a learning curve to using emacs and gnus.

Hope this helps.

Have you already tried Cone (http://www.courier-mta.org/cone/) ?

Thnx for the replies, I found a good program with Google. It is called newspost and is available in the ubuntu repos. I would recommand this for usenet posting, it supports auto generating sfv and par files. It has alot of switches so you should check out the manpage.

slrn is probably the best; there's also nn.
