  • Peering Synchronet with other NNTP servers?

    Where is the information needed for configuring the Synchronet NNTP server to peer with other servers such as INN and Diablo?

    I don't think that's been done.

    Can a Synchronet NNTP server be peered with another Synchronet NNTP server? How might that be done?

    For connecting a Synchronet BBS to an existing NNTP network (e.g. USENET), newsgate.js is usually used (not the NNTP server/service).

    Sorry, I meant to say newslink.js:
    https://wiki.synchro.net/module:newslink

    Thank you. It looks like this may do the job.
