For test purposes Our Ultrix system manager runs by hand nntpxmit which generates the following output: $ nntpxmit -d -D sigma::sigma 200 sigma VMS NNTP server version 5.8 ready at Thu Aug 10 10:56:51 1989 (posting ok). >>> IHAVE <960001@teecs.UUCP> 335 send article to be transferred. End with . >>> . nntpxmit: sigma xfer: Broken pipe The log of successfull transfers to other ultrix hosts looks like this - >>> IHAVE <5491@ncrwic.Wichita.NCR.COM> 335 Ok >>> . Do I need to do anything besides creating a NNTP.COM file as specified in the documentation to get this to work? I'm sure there must be many sites with an Ultrix node as their feed - could anyone shed some light on this dilemma?
