To configure notifications on an NNTP server, follow these steps:
1. Connect to your NNTP server using an NNTP client tool such as Pan or Thunderbird.
1. Check if your server supports the NOTIFY command. The NOTIFY command is used to manage notifications on the server.
1. If the server supports NOTIFY, check the syntax of the NOTIFY command by typing “HELP NOTIFY” in the client tool. This will give you detailed information about the syntax and usage of the command.
1. Use the NOTIFY command to configure your notifications. The NOTIFY command has several parameters that you can use to specify the type of notification, the types of articles to be notified, and the email address(es) of the recipient(s).
1. For example, to configure your server to send notifications for all new articles posted to a particular newsgroup, you can use the following command:
NOTIFY ADD newsgroup@example.com newsgroup all
This command will send notifications to the email address “newsgroup@example.com” for all new articles posted to the “newsgroup” newsgroup.
1. You can also use the NOTIFY command to remove notifications or to view a list of configured notifications.
1. Once you have configured your notifications, you should test them by posting a new article to the newsgroup you have configured notifications for. You should receive an email notification if the configuration is correct.
