asp <-> nntp scripts

[Mauricio Freitas [MVP]]

Hello

Does anyone know of a (good) asp script to browse/post nntp
(usenet/newsgroups)?

I know there are some ASP .Net ones, but I rather have this on ASP for now
since I'm still working on migrating my site later.

TIA

g = "microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general"
response.redirect "http://groups-beta.google.com/group/"&g

I'm pretty sure DundasMailer (free component) supports NNTP.

Posting is a relatively straight forward process. Here's a VBScript example
adapted from the following article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wss/wss/posting_a_message_to_an_nntp_newsgroup.asp

<script language="VBScript" runat="SERVER">
Dim Msg : Set Msg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Dim Cfg : Set Cfg = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")

Cfg.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/postusing").Value
= 2
Cfg.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/nntpserver").Valu
e = "yournntpserver"

Cfg.Fields.Update
Set Msg.Configuration = Cfg

Msg.Subject = "Hello"
Msg.From = "(e-mail address removed)"
Msg.Newsgroups = "yournewsgroup"
Msg.Post
</script>


Browsing is considerably more complicated. Basically, you need to create a
COM component to handle NNTP "Event Sinks". I've never attempted it myself
but here's the documentation if you're feeling adventurous:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e..._smtp_nntp_transport_event_sinks_with_cdo.asp

here's a component that is supposed to enable you to communicate with an
NNTP server (haven't tried it).

Thanks... Found DundasMailer before, was looking for a set of scripts using
it (or other COM).

Will have to try it.

Cheers, will have to look at the sink scripts...
