SUMMARY
Newsfeeds are not supported in the Microsoft Windows 2000 version of Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). Newsfeeds cannot be configured in Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0.

Although the Default NNTP Virtual Server properties contain Allow feed postings and Allow servers to pull news articles from this server options, these options and complete newsfeed capability are not available.

You can use Exchange Server or other newsfeed software for newsfeed support.



MORE INFORMATION
The flow of items from one USENET site to another is called a newsfeed. A newsfeed replicates items in newsgroups between host computers. One or more servers, or hosts, running NNTP make up a USENET site.

Each USENET site that receives a newsfeed can be configured to accept and generate an NNTP connection and newsfeed. The host computer that receives your newsfeed is configured as the outbound host. The host computers that provide your newsfeed are configured as the inbound hosts. A host computer can be configured as both the inbound and outbound host.

Additional query words: newsgroup
