What exactly is this intended to be doing? I assure you that it won't do what you think, whatever that is. This says to batch up a bunch of articles and then shove that batch into inews as if it were an incoming news article. It's not at all surprising that inews disapproves. You will need to explain what you're attempting before any further help can be supplied, unless intimate knowledge of NNTP (which I lack) tips someone else off to the problem. -- TCP/IP: handling tomorrow's loads today| Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology OSI: handling yesterday's loads someday| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
