- ## This is the NNTP server leafnode fetches its news from.
- ## You need read and post access to it. Mandatory.
- server = news.hiof.no
-
- ## Unread discussion threads will be deleted after this many days if
- ## you don't define special expire times. Mandatory.
- expire = 20
-
- ##
- ## All the following parameters are optional
- ##
-
- ## I have free access to my news server. If you don't have, comment out
- ## the following two lines and change them accordingly.
- # username = gulbrandsen
- # password = secret
-
- ## Standard news servers run on port 119. If your newsserver doesn't, comment
- ## out the following line and change it accordingly.
- # port = 8000
-
- ## This is another news server which stores some groups that are not
- ## available on the first one. You can define username, password and port
- ## for each server separately.
- # supplement = sex.and.warez.com
- # username = xenu
- # password = secret
-
- ## This is a news server which does not understand the
- ## "LIST NEWSGROUP news.group" command. For this reason, we don't try to
- ## download newsgroups descriptions when getting new newsgroups. This is
- ## achieved by putting "nodesc = 1" somewhere behind the server/supplement
- ## line.
- # supplement = broken.upstream.server
- # nodesc = 1
-
- ## Here we have another news server which has a very slow connection. For
- ## that reason, we wait a full minute before we give up trying to connect.
- ## The default is 10 seconds.
- # supplement = really.slow.snail
- # timeout = 60
-
- ## Non-standard expire times (glob(7) wildcard constructs possible)
- # groupexpire comp.os.linux.* = 5 # groups too big to hold articles 20 days
- # groupexpire any.local.newsgroup = 100 # very interesting, hold articles longer
-
- ## Never fetch more than this many articles from one group in one run.
- ## Be careful with this; setting it much below 1000 is probably a bad
- ## idea.
- # maxfetch = 2000
-
- ## Fetch only a few articles when we subscribe a new newsgroup. The
- ## default is to fetch all articles.
- # initialfetch = 100
-
- ## If you want to use leafnode like an offline newsreader (e.g. Forte
- ## Agent) you can download headers and bodies separately if you set
- ## delaybody to 1. In this case, fetch will only download the headers
- ## and only when you select an article, it will download the body.
- ## This can save a huge amount of bandwith if only few articles are really
- ## read from groups with lots of postings.
- ## This feature works not very well with Netscape, though (which is not
- ## a fault of Leafnode).
- # delaybody = 0
-
- ## To avoid spam, you can select the maximum number of crosspostings
- ## that are allowed in incoming postings. Setting this below 5 is
- ## probably a bad idea. The default is unlimited crossposting.
- # maxcrosspost = 5
-
- ## If you suffer from repeatedly receiving old postings (this happens
- ## sometimes when an upstream server goes into hiccup mode) you can
- ## refuse to receive them with the parameter "maxage" which tells the
- ## maximum allowed age of an article in days. The default maxage is 10
- ## days.
- # maxage = 10
-
- ## maxlines will make fetch reject postings that are longer than a certain
- ## amount of lines.
- # maxlines = 100
-
- ## minlines will make fetch reject postings that are shorter than a certain
- ## amount of lines.
- # minlines = 2
-
- ## maxbytes will make fetch reject postings that are larger
- # maxbytes = 50000
-
- ## timeout_short determines how many days fetch gets a newsgroup which
- ## has been accidentally opened. The default is two days.
- # timeout_short = 1
-
- ## timeout_long determines how many days fetch will wait before not getting
- ## an unread newsgroup any more. The default is seven days.
- # timeout_long = 6
-
- ## timeout_active determines how many days fetch will wait before re-reading
- ## the whole active file. The default is 90 days.
- # timeout_active = 365
