It shouldn't take longer than an normal client takes to post, except for the situation where there are multiple servers configured to take posts for the specified groups (i.e a cross-post), in which case nntpcache has to post the message to each one of the servers serving those groups. > 2) The above mentioned part of local newsgroups does not work at the > moment.

Looks to me look you need to edit your inn access file ;) Cheers, Julian. -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
