Re: NNTP NewsFeeds via Exchange

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Which news server are you pointing to in the configuration to pull feeds
from? You can't use Microsoft's nntp server - they don't allow it. If you
aren't getting feed items, this usually indicates that you are not allowed
to pull feeds from the server you have configured. I'd contact your ISP and
see if they have an NNTP server that is configure with the newsgroups that
you want, and if they will allow you to pull feeds from them.

Thanks for the article. I took a look and have setup the feed correctly,
but
I am still not getting any articles. I have read on other sites that when
you use the NNTP features with exchange, that it pulls the articles using
a
"NewsFeeder Command" that is usually disabled on news servers. Does
anyone
know if this is correct? Has anyone successfully done this before, and if
so
what News provider are you using?

Thanks

I am trying to use the newsreader functionality of exchange 2003. My
understanding is that through the Exchange System Manager, I can setup
a
connection to a news server, subscribe to certain groups, and have them
published to my public folders for our internal users to take advantage
of.
I have setup the connection, and I get a listing of groups, but there
are
no
articles in the groups. I have tried with the microsoft newsgroups and
a
site called newsdemon, but I get the same result with both. Can I not
use
this feature with the same type of service that I would use for a
desktop
news reader? Does anyone know of a service that I should be using?
Any
help
would be appreciated.

Thanks
