-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm having a bit of trouble getting
Reliable and DNews (5.7e1) working
together. I've had a header only suck
feed server set up before but DNews
seems to have changed the user interface
a lot since then. At the moment I can't
even get reliable to post to 127.0.0.1.
Does anybody here have any pointers to
"really good" online info? I've read
http://www.opus1.com/www/dnews/man1.htm
through http://...man6.htm but they are
like the dam mercury 32 documentation
where they bury you in options and
variations that are applicable to a
whole bunch of totally unrelated sinerios.

anyway.. I've got some holiday time
scheduled over the next couple of weeks
and I'm hoping to migrate my working
reliable/mercury setup and integrate
Dnews so everything uses my new domain
and subhosts (moose.remailer.be and
news.remailer.be) by christmas.

also.. I run an apache (2.0.44) (with php
and mysql) set up and I'm putting together
a little site. I'd like to put my stats up
there but reliable seems to want to ftp them
(although I haven't looked too hard for
alternatives yet). I've got Bulletproof G6
ftp server available but it seems kinda silly
to ftp them to another directory on the same
machine. How do you get reliable to simply
write the stats info to an apache documentroot
subdir?

also.. I see a couple of remailer sites that
pop up an "accept certificate" window when I
visit. I don't have the https module installed
on apache but I've got that on the back burner
too. I D/L'ed the openssl package when I
was setting up stunnel (so the moose remailer
could use mixrem@gmail.com for incomming
traffic) and I've noticed that Mercury will
generate an smtps certificate for accepting
incomming traffic using TLS but I don't quite
undestand what certificate I'm being asked to
accept when I visit a "secure" remailer website.
Most https connections simply pop up that little
windows "you are entering/leaving a secure page"
(till you shut it off). Is this something more
secure than simply https? Does it allow client side
scripting out of the "sand-box" for example (ie HD
read/write, etc)?

Any help appreciated.

http://netwinsite.com/dnews/manual.htm

gives you the official reference.

To get reliable to post to 127.0.0.1

Set up a user called "reliable" with a password
Give that user access to all the groups
Make sure DNews is listening on 127.0.0.1
Tell reliable to connect to 127.0.0.1 with the name and password
above.

If you have bound reliable to an IP address, you will have to
use that rather than 127.0.0.1 (bind_in in dnews.conf)

Should be pretty straightforward.

Good luck.

You don't, if I remember correctly. Just ftp them.

Point Reliable to the address you have specified in the "myname" line in
dnews.conf.

Options|Configuration|Make Stats
Enter the location of the file you want the stats to be stored in (your
Apache directory) under the various "Stats File" lines. Leave the FTP
section blank if you don't want the stats sent to a remote location.

Try looking here http://netwinsite.com/cgi/idx_find....tmail&B1=Submit
It will post an email to a newsgroup.

For the stats you can just FTP them to yourself.

Just specify the directory for each set of stats, rlist.txt, mlist.txt,
etc. opposite the 'Stats File...' fields.

When I did it, I left the ftp information in - maybe it was required - I
don't remember, but used 9999999 as the minimum time between stats sends.
