Mailing problem with 2.3.5

Hello.
After upgrade to 2.3.5 I have a problem with moderated newsgroups.
When trying to post something to moderated group I get the following:

Posting failed (sh: /usr/lib/sendmail -oi -oem pl-praca-oferowana <at> usenet.pl:
not found)

and then:
Mailer exited with status 256 -- Article might not have been mailed

/usr/lib/sendmail is existing and as far as I can see - working fine.
Anyone has idea what's wrong?

Problem solved.
There was an error with quote characters in the 'mta' line in inn.conf
innmail in 2.3.5 didn't like it :)

-STABLE nnrpd build report w/fix

FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE from about a month ago (how time flies).
Perl 5.6.1 installed from ports and "use.perl port" done.
Building inn-STABLE-20040701 from the tarball.

$ make

The problem is that it's picking up /usr/lib/libperl.a which is from
the base system Perl, 5.005_03.  Fixed in nnrpd/Makefile by moving
$(PERLLIB) before $(SSLLIB) in NNRPDLIBS.

It builds, no comments as yet on whether it runs.

unicode and UTF-8

Hi,
I saw in the documentation that  in 2.4.X there is support for UTF-8 in 
the uwildmat api for the inn configuration files.

Does this mean that the inn server supports unicode character sets (UTF-8) 
within the content of the newsgroups? 

For example, could one have a newsgroup which is Japanese as well as 
English newsgroups on the same inn server?

Is it the newsreader client  that provides the ability to enter and 
display UTF-8 format from the inn server? 

Do you recommended that we upgrade from 2.3.X to 2.4.1 for UTF-8 support?

Thanks for your help,

Lisa

No, it's unrelated.

This has been supported since ages.

Yes, with MIME. Any decent newsreader supports this.

No.

INN makes no interpretation of the contents of newsgroup names at all.
You can name your newsgroups in any character set that you wish which
doesn't have embedded nul characters; INN won't care.  The only things to
be careful of are that news readers may not handle non-ASCII newsgroup
names correctly and that you have to be particularly cautious with control
messages to not accidentally encode the name of the newsgroup in
quoted-printable or base64, since INN doesn't know enough to decode them
again.

Note that this is not particularly widely tested, so there is some
possibility that you will encounter problems in the more obscure tools,
although I find it unlikely.

> Is it the newsreader client  that provides the ability to enter and

This is where your problems most likely will be; the news reader should be
able to display body text in any character set, but for headers that can't
use RFC 2047 encoding (such as the Newsgroups header), the news reader has
to know to guess and has to guess right.

No, INN's support in this regard has been mostly unchanged for ages; the
wildmat changes only affect fairly obscure issues when matching complex

The idea behind 'strippath' implementation?

Hello,

To me, the readers.conf manpage about strippath reads as 'If enabled,
any client preloaded path will be stripped'. However, the sources (INN
2.4.1) in nnrpd/post.c show that the last element in a preloaded path
is carefully preserved and left in the posting before prepending
PATHMASTER.

What's the idea behind it? May I ask to sync manpage and code in one of
either ways e.g. a clarification in the description of that option?

It's because the last element of the path used to be the username, rather
than a host name.

I don't object to stripping the entire path.  Does anyone feel that this
last element should be kept?

PATCH: Add size and post time of the article to tape (backlog file).

Hi, inn-workers!
I want two features.

1) Show spool size for peer, like:

ttyri://vinny <at> zeus:~> finger dg:OUTBOUND <at> news2.lucky.net
[news2.lucky.net]
===============================================================================
Queue file               Articles size  Articles       Queue file date
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dg-2.input                      29.28G     85989       Thu Jul  8 18:09:18 2004
dg-2.output                     659.6M      3212       Thu Jul  8 15:49:11 2004
dg.input                        597.3M     40363       Thu Jul  8 18:09:18 2004
dg.output                       10.76M      1022       Thu Jul  8 16:16:51 2004
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL:                          30.55G    130586  NOW: Thu Jul  8 18:09:18 2004

ttyri://vinny <at> zeus:~> 

2) Cutoff articles obtained from tape (backlog file) at local news
   system, if age of the article is more then value of parameter
   "artcutoff" set at remote news system.

   Daily Usenet report for this features looks like:

Cut off articles from backlog:
Server                   Spooled UnSpooled  CutOff %UnSpooled %CutOff %ReQueued
dg                          1983      1983       0       100%      0%      100%
dg-2                      102461     80476   40282        78%     50%       39%
horse                       5345      5345       4       100%      0%       99%
