suck feeds news to local INN or CNEWS server without the remote NNTP feeding.
This is useful, if you get news from NNTP server with dialup connection.

Suck is a program used to grab news from a remote NNTP news server and
bring it to your local machine, without the remote server doing
anything special. If you have read permission on the server, you can
use suck. Suck does NOT use the NEWNEWS command, hated by many
administrators.

Support new Options: SUCK_WITH_SSL=yes or WITH_SSL=yes Update URL's. Thanks to <thierry@thomas.as> -- Changes from Suck-4.2.5 -> Suck-4.3.0 * As of this version, my e-mail address has changed from from bobyetman@worldnet.att.net to bobyetman@home.com * changes to allow it to use SSL. * rpost.c - added -i option, to ignore the readonly opening response and try to post anyway, since inn-2.3, when using authinfo, still sends 201 code meaning readonly. - do_authenticate() - added print statements to show start of, and successful completion of authentication. * suck.c - get_one_article_kill() - add test for header_only mode when in stdout mode to not download the body. - get_one_article(), get_articles() - added -bP option, to post articles during download. 2001-09-30 06:31:45 -04:00			`Suck is a program used to grab news from a remote NNTP news server and`
