Re: [leafnode-list] rnews -- usage?

Sorry for letting that issue rest aside for a very long time. I simply
was occupied with other things, and could not investigate into this
topic further.

Well, I got everything working (read below), but this.

You have mail. ;->

The "trouble" for this one used a keyboard. I did not set
"create_all_links=1" in leafnode's configuration.

I added (to 'contrib/simple-batcher.sh') the functionality to hand the
articles over to uux, however, my upstream-site does not publish them
-- I think I'm missing some sort of required header, there.

Here's an example of an article as it appears in the UUCP queue:

= begin inserted file: D.001A
#! rnews 239
Newsgroups: arcor.test
From: Tim Koenig <tk2652@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: #2
User-Agent: slrn/0.9.7.4 (Linux)
Path: eber.gnuu.de!not-for-mail
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 22:24:22 +0200
Message-ID: <mcre6x15e.ln2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

#2

-- 
= end inserted file: D.001A

What's wrong? All the required headers, as of RFC 1036, are there.
Leafnode itself accepts the article without any problem
("no_direct_spool=1"). I don't have access to the logs of my
upstream, and I'd rather not install INN myself...
