Open Source C Usenet News Software

Providing a tool to apply the data-recovery capability concepts of RAID-like systems to the posting & recovery of multi-part archives on Usenet.

Trn is "Threaded Read News", the text-mode news reader that was originally based on Larry Wall's rn. Version 4.0 includes the ability to open multiple news sources at the same time, improved newsgroup and option interaction, and lots more.

Claws Mail is a GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast e-mail client and newsreader. Supports POP3, APOP, IMAP, SMTP, SMTP AUTH, NNTP, LDAP, multiple accounts, spell-checking, addressbook, SSL, GPG, filtering, i18n, & more. It is further extended by plugins.

Leafnode is a caching Usenet news proxy that enables online newsreaders to read news off-line and aggregates news from various NNTP servers into one. It is designed for full-automatic maintenance, and IPv6 enabled.

retawq is a multi-threaded web browser for text terminals on Unix-like computers. It is fast, small, nicely configurable and comfortable; e.g. you can keep open as many "virtual windows" as you want and work simultaneously in two of them.

Powerful encoder/decoder for the newly popular Usenet yEnc file format. Features include easy configuration, internationalization, memory efficiency, and an intelligent decoder capable of finding and decoding input files, including out-of-order files.

FIDOGATE is a Fido-Internet gateway, a Fido FTN-FTN NetMail gateway, a Fido tosser, a Fido file processor/ticker, and a Fido Areafix/Filefix program (The latest code is in CVS but a GIT repository is being prepared.)

PIMPPA is a toolkit to automatically retrieve, skip, sort, process and backup binary files (pictures, music, animations, etc.) from the Internet. Primary file source is newsgroups, more loosely FTP and IRC.

The WendzelNNTPd is a IPv6-ready NNTP usenet-server with the main goal to be as easy to use as possible. It is portable (Linux/*BSD/*nix), supports AUTHINFO authentication, contains ACL as well as role based ACL and supports invisible newsgroups. It currently supports MySQL and SQLite backends.

A multithreaded NNTP transport designed to transfer Usenet articles as quickly as possible between a local server (supports INN, s-news and sn) and multiple remote servers, with score-based killfiling.

Noffle is a news (nntp) server optimized for few users and low speed dial-up connections to the Internet. It can add offline reading capabilities to existing news readers.

Utility to test and create .sfv and test .par on Unix and Windows. Easy scripting. Also Handy in dos environment. Recursive directories handling. Tested files database.

A multi-server, multi-connections-per-server Usenet news sucking mechanism. Feeds articles to a local news server. Powerful filtering capability. Runs continuously as a quasi-daemon.

The slrn source code is maintained in a git repository located at http://www.jedsoft.org/snapshots/.

newsfish is a batch USENET news reader. Given a list of newsgroups and a set of egrep-style filters for each newsgroup, newsfish scans unread articles, applies the appropriate filters to them, and saves all matching articles into mbox-style files.

Unix-Connect kann sehr vielseitig eingesetzt werden. Entwickelt wurde es um ein Unix-System als Server im Z-NETZ einsetzen zu können. Nebeneffekt ist die Gateway-Funktion. Gerade die Gateway-Routinen sind relativ gut portabel

BasicNews is a simple news (NNTP) server for Linux. It's meant to be used as an internal server (eg. as a company news server, or private NNTP server, etc). BasicNews is not able to exchange posts with other servers, as it is designed to run on a leaf site. Keeping it simple allowed me to create an easy to install NNTP server, with no maintenance burden. BasicNews supports authentication of clients, both via internal flat files and via LDAP.

FIDOGATE is a Fido-Internet gateway, a Fido FTN-FTN NetMail gateway, a Fido tosser, a Fido file processor/ticker, and a Fido Areafix/Filefix program

FlameBin is a binary file downloader for usenet. It supports multiple servers, simultaneous file downloads and other common usenet binary downloader features. An advantage over other binary downloaders is that it is cross-platform.

Idas (I Don't Accept Seconds) is a high-performance duplicate file detector. Idas plugs into your favorite Unix filter and can tell you exactly which files have been seen before, regardless of whether or not it appears with the same filename.

Korallenriff is a program that collects input from different network sources and stores their data into one database. For example, it can receive POP3 mail or can fetch NNTP groups and store the received messages in a database.

The MSN Compatibility Daemon allows the use of any mail and news software on servers requiring the Microsoft Secure Password Authentication Protocol. It handles the authentication and then serves as a proxy between the server and the client software.

Develop/enhance software to transport NetNews over IP multicast in order to save bandwidth on links

The newssnarf software is a sample extension of the popular "dsniff" package in that it will automatically track and log NNTP connections by USENET group and article number.
