Re: *** ADMIN: Some lists available on a private news server!

Personally, I use Netscape Mail for this newsserver as well as various other newsservers. I'm not sure I'd ever use Outlook for newsgroup access unless it's a needed work-related task and my employer names Outlook as a required standard.

BTW, this is my first attempt at configuring for any of the Midrange lists via NNTP rather than e-mail, so you might never see this.

Any suggestions?   I guess I could just download Thunderbird from Mozilla. .

Subject: *** ADMIN: Some lists available on a private news server!

Folks:

As most of you know ... a number of the lists hosted by midrange.com are
gated to newsgroups by the gmane.org service.

A few lists hosted here I did not want gated to gmane.org's news server
because they have a very limited scope and reach.

As an alternative, I have made some of those lists available on a private
news server that I run.

Currently the only lists available on the private server are:

midrange-nontech
pctech
cpf0000

The news server host address is nntp.midrange.com, PORT 1199 (note the
non-standard port).  No authentication is necessary.
