    I got the feed ! It works. Thank you very much. Actually, I got it
    earlier but didn't realised.

    I created the mailboxes, ran nntpd and it worked.

    How would the groups be named without unixhierarchysep ?

    Also, it seems that everybody can post from my server - how to disallow
    access for posting and more generally to manage posting or reading ?

    I've managed /etc/news with:
    ------------------------------------------
    default xfer no
    ------------------------------------------
    according to
    http://howtos.linux.com/guides/nag2/x-087-2-nntp.access.shtml but not
    sure it works and it'd be enough.

    How to manage access (posting/reading) on port 119 ?

    Is /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/nntpd -f enough ?
    http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/nntpd8.html

    Also, it seems that ANNOTATEMORE is used to delete messages with
    cyr_expire, isn't it ? Need to read more about it.

    I thank you very much for your help.

    Cheers.
