Send me the logfile and your config (Change any passwords to
password).
I changed the newsrc to the one I have with soupgate and spoon
and it worked fine :)
The pygate newsrc is based on the soupgate one.
Happy to hear it's now working for you.
OK, what I have done is to disable my spoon/soupgate setup for
the moment, put the data/inbound as the filebox for the pygate
and changed the outbound to the inbound of my fmail setup.
Yeah that's one way of doing it! Mine runs on the news server, so I
needed binkd anyway, so just had raw packets created and placed into
the binkd file box...
So if I am happy after a few days, maybe instead, I will work on
an email gateway as there are many things I want to do
Are you using that feature? One of the issues with doing that is if
the internet side attaches a huge file. Fidonet wasn't designed to
handle that. Are you getting users asking for it, or is it something
you want toi tackle yourself?
The flow is now:
1. FidoNet -> NNTP: MSGID: 2:221/1 697c6658 -> X-FTN-MSGID: 2:221/1 697c6658
2. NNTP -> FidoNet: X-FTN-MSGID: 2:221/1 697c6658 -> MSGID: 2:221/1
697c6658 (same!)
Duplicate detection will now recognize it as the same message.
There's another one that got rejected by INN:[...]
Failed to post message: 441 Can't parse Message-ID header field body
The message was sent to my local news server, running WendzelNNTPd.
The pygate newsrc is based on the soupgate one.
Happy to hear it's now working for you.
I also use nntp.lore.kernel.org as a read only source for Linux stuff. Creating a second config and data-dir at the moment.

Ah I was wondering about that :)

Just a short note. I'm glad you are working and improving this. A
great idea for today's BBS.

That is the only way to use PyGgate with two different nntp server.
I personally don't need that (My server peers with some well connected systems), but could add it as a feature if you'd like?
Is there a way to get the list of newsgroups from the server?

That would be nice indeed. Currently I'm using spoon for that. :)
Also it would be nice to have an option to 'reset' message count in
newsrc file. That can be done with vsoup or souper:
===
Souper v1.6 - transfer POP3 mail and NNTP news to SOUP
usage: souper [options] [mailhost userid password]
-c n Mark every article as read except for the last n in each
newsgroup
===

No need, it is working perfectly. If I can make a suggestion. in the download zip, change pygate.cfg to pygate-sample.cfg and newsrc to newsrc-sample or something. I also unzipped the zip file over my
working folder :)

Done. Should never do that to a working system!

Added to the request list..
PyGate was the result. It's actually gone further then what I
initially planed.

waiting for gentoo ebuild shows up
I did add support for Syncronet-style MSGID's, can yo drop the packets into my system, and I'll have a look.
Synchronet: Required to much manual editing of files/configs.
