- We have a problem once in a while where nntpxmit at another site tries
- to send us some articles and they are all rejected. This happens over
- and over with exactly the same number of articles rejected each time.
- The number of articles is a small fraction of the number in the other
- site's outgoing batch for us. This seems to happen when we have a site
- power failure or other cases where we don't respond to the sender regularly.
-
- We have been solving this by asking the other site to delete their outgoing
- batch for us, but that means we lose a lot of articles. Does anyone know
- what is causing this, and how to fix it without losing a lot of articles?
-
- Please reply via email (nntp is not reliable!) - I will post a short summary
- if I get a good answer. Thanks!
