MR> There`s not much to it. not sure what you mean by easily make a mess.

maybe i don`t understand yet how the bbs behind the nntp(s) service
is handling what it gets from the newsreader. I will continue testing
the nntp(s) feature and see if i can send out something messy ;)
ok, by default you do not authenticate using nntp(s), so (as i
understand now) you just act like you do with the user rights of your bbs
guest account.
MR> i`m not sure what you mean by authentication. just don`t use a guest
MR> account and have your bbs setup in a secure manner.
i think in Pan you can define a login/password in the usenet
server setting right away (as it should be), but i think in Thunderbird
(and that`s what i started with) you have to require your nntp(s)
service a non anonymous login (parameter -na) to get a user/password popup
in Thunderbird. By dedault i think the nntp(s) service starts with no
parameters or with -f parameter only and Thunderbird just does not provide a
user/password field for the Newsgroup account. So it is a bit dificult to login
as a non anonymous user using Thunderbird if you don`t require your
nntp(s) service a non anonymous login via -na parameter.
