NewsRunnerNewsRunnerNewsRunner is an automatic newsreader developed by Hi-Resolution. It sits in the background, periodically checking for new articles on your news server. Any new messages are either mailed to a specified address or saved to a plain text file in a nominated folder.
This last feature allows you to save news articles directly into AutoShare's Filed Mail folder, where they are processed just like a normal mailing list contribution. So you can make a newsgroup available in the form of an internet mailing list, with the added advantage of digests and automated web archives.
These simple instructions should help you to get up and running with the minimum of fuss.
Create a new mailing list. I suggest you use the newsgroup name (For example, if you are subscribing to the news group 'alt.bored' you should create an AutoShare mailing list called 'alt.bored').
Make this an announcement list with Reply-To: sender. This will allow you to reply to the original poster of a message by email. I suggest that you use an announcement list to prevent people accidentally posting email responses to the list itself, which will not be reflected in the newsgroup.
When you select the Subscribe command from the News menu you are presented with the News Group dialog.
Configure these settings as follows:
Note: If you used a list-specific Listmaster address in AutoShare, make sure that the address you enter here corresponds to the Listmaster address for your mailing list.
That's it! You're done ;-)
