    I have managed imapd.conf like this:

    partition-default: /var/spool/imap
    partition-news: /var/spool/imap/news
    altnamespace: yes
    newspeer: news-in.newsfeeds.com:119 news-out.newsfeeds.com:119
    unixhierarchysep: yes
    newsprefix: Usenet

    localhost.localdomain> cm Usenet/comp.mail.imap
    localhost.localdomain> sam Usenet/comp.mail.imap anyone lrsp

    Is the 'p' right necessary ? I don't want to deliver posting access to
    Usenet.

    > Have you told your news provider to send you articles?

    Yes. The articles seem to be delivered:

    $ tcpdump

    02:13:48.015469 IP news-out.newsfeeds.com.4435 >
    snip.fbx.proxad.net.nntp: . ack 160 win 64909

    snip.fbx.proxad.net.nntp: . ack 1374 win 65163
    ...
    02:22:37.082797 snip.fbx.proxad.net.nntp >
    news-out.newsfeeds.com.4976: P 5644:5746(102) ack 112942 win 32767

    And my peer's asking to let the feed out - I hope the 'newspeer' option
    in imapd.conf is enough for this purpose.

    [root@ ]# /usr/bin/nntptest -p 119 -u cyrus
    WARNING: no hostname supplied, assuming localhost

    S: 200 snip.fbx.proxad.net Cyrus NNTP v2.2.10-Invoca-RPM-2.
    ...
    list newsgroups
    215 List of newsgroups follows:
    .

    It seems that the server is empty.

    [root@ ] /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/nntpd was not successful.

    I'm wondering where the articles should be stored on the disk and how to
    manage rights.

    Thanks you very much for your help.
