FreeBSD news : slurp

Passive NNTP client to retrieve Usenet articles from a remote server

 Slurp is an advanced passive NNTP client for UNIX. It will connect to a
remote NNTP server and retrieve articles in a specified set of Usenet
newsgroups that have arrived after a particular date (typically the
last time it was invoked) for processing by your local news system or
forwarding on via UUCP to another news system. It replaces nntpxfer
from the NNTP 1.5.12 reference implementation and nntpget from the INN
distribution.

Patches from Peter Fox (fox@roestock.demon.co.uk) have been added to
avoid downloading articles from certain sites.  To make use of this
facility, create a file ${PREFIX}/news/lib/excludesites and list the
sites in it, eg

fritter.spam.com
hackers.org

slurp port overwrites/delete existing configuration file

	Installing(/deinstalling) package slurp-1.10_1 causes any
	existing configuration file /usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys
	to be overwritten(/deleted).
	Since this file may be quite long this is a considerable
	annoyance.

	Package should install a sample file instead, eg.
	/usr/local/news/lib/slurp.sys.sample
