Just posted in alt.sources: Archive-Name: inews-xt Submitted-By: Olaf Titz <olaf@inka.de> Environment: cnews, perl, unix This is a complete rewrite in perl of the "inews" script supplied with older versions of C News (as of Summer 1993, or C News XT 1.3, but can be used with new versions as well). It is much faster, does MIME encoding and header syntax checks. The script is self-contained, it doesn't need the auxiliary stuff in bin/inject. Some options have to be set at the top of the script before running. Changes since last published versions: * 2.8 1997/01/22 - Security fix for running setuid (location of temp files) - Checks for TMPDIR - MIME tweaks * 2.7 1996/12/22 - Silently discard empty articles if -E flag is given. This fits into batch/viainews. - Now allows more than one header with the same name. - Disallows override of NNTP-Posting-* set by nntpd. - Yet another Q-P encoding bug removed, faster. - Reject excess cross postings. * 2.6 1996/05/06 - Fixed timezone encoding bug that missed DST. * 2.5 1996/04/02 - Much faster due to improved input handling. - Bugs fixed: server usage shell quoting, relaynews parameters. - May run setuid now. - Minor cleanups, more items configurable. * 2.3 1996/01/20 - Split long header lines where applicable. - Bugs in RFC1522 encoding fixed. - Now generates date header in local timezone. * 2.2 1995/12/06 - More rigid handling of whitespace in headers. - Minor cleanups: dead.article handling, encodings and mailpaths parsing. * 2.1 1995/11/10 - Added the "encodings" file. * 1.8 1995/10/03 - Added rigid header syntax checking. "From: user@PROBLEM..." and "From: <Mozilla>" is right out. Invalid date in Expires line, ditto. - Don't RFC1522ize headers that don't deserve it. Flag error instead. - Added "trusted" users who may supply own From and Sender lines. - Added Message-ID algorithm from Cleanup Release. - Added -S option (suppress .signature). - Various code cleanups. - Better support for new C News versions. * 1.5 1995/06/23 - First release. olaf@inka.de
