Hello, i was reading some of the new feature incorpored into the new cyrus-imap-2_2, i´m interested in the nntpd daemon to supporting news into cyrus. Really, i´m so confused and i have a lot of question about it.
1- I have cyrus-imap-2_2b with multidomains support and nntp built in, i need a INN package to mount many news group inside this domains or i can use nntp support in cyrus-imap?.
You don't need a separate news server like INN. You can just have articles fed directly to Cyrus.
2-"Cyrus has the ability to export Usenet via IMAP and/or export shared IMAP mailboxes via NNTP". I don´t undertand this. What Usenet is?.
Usenet, news and netnew are all the same thing.
3- Right now, i have two domains (xxx.com & yyy.com), that i need or want is create some newgroups under news.xxx.com and others under news.yyy.com. for example.
soft.news.xxx.com is a news group to read (only read) articles about new soft technology so.news.xxx.com is a news group to post and read articles about Operating System
soft.news.yyy.com is a news group to read (only read) articles about new soft technology for users from yyy.com domain.
which will be my newsprefix ?
The newsprefix would have to be the same for all domains, but since the NNTP support hasn't been tested with virtdomains and probably needs some work, the point is moot. In fact, I don't have any good ideas as to how to have Cyrus receive articles via NNTP and know which virtdomain they belong in. I suppose you could do it based on the interface (or virtual IP address) that the connection comes in on.
How i can´t avoid users from xxx.com reading news group under yyy.com? Password?.
Cross-domain shared folders aren't allowed, so this isn't a problem.
4. What i have to do for give password for each users sharing the same news group?
Cross-domain shared folders aren't allowed, so this can't be done. You'd have to have a newsgroup in each domain and have them fed .
