Slurp is an advanced passive NNTP client for UNIX. It will connect to a
|
|
|
|
remote NNTP server and retrieve articles in a specified set of Usenet
|
|
|
|
newsgroups that have arrived after a particular date (typically the
|
|
|
|
last time it was invoked) for processing by your local news system or
|
|
|
|
forwarding on via UUCP to another news system. It replaces nntpxfer
|
|
|
|
from the NNTP 1.5.12 reference implementation and nntpget from the INN
|
|
|
|
distribution.

Patches from Peter Fox (fox@roestock.demon.co.uk) have been added to
|
|
|
|
avoid downloading articles from certain sites. To make use of this
|
|
|
|
facility, create a file ${PREFIX}/news/lib/excludesites and list the
|
|
|
|
sites in it, eg
|
|
|

fritter.spam.com
