Frog's Support for News
V1
OverView
A never-ending program scans every 2 minutes for P:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News\*.cnm
files created by Mercury.
Basic tests are performed, some headers are stripped and posting is attempted
using CSNWS32.OCX
--- If post succeeds, *cnm file is deleted
--- If post fails, .cnm file is moved toP:\Pmail\Mail\_M2News\Errors\
for possible human analysis.
Typical causes for post failure are:
--- non-existant newsgroup
--- invalid syntax somewhere ('From: ', 'Newsgroups: ')
--- the most frequent here is duplicate message (I take sucks for apas and aam)
...... see 'Tale of a Post'
...... [Since version dated 2003/07/01, such duplicates are detected and deleted]
