Hello,
I mirror a small news server that isn't part of the main, public servers. The owners of this server allow users to make use of the cancel protocol that is part of nttp and pull messages back. They also will do it if spam is posted.
But the FUD forums don't handle the case if the message is no longer on the original server. At least I can't see where. Are there any plans to add this? I'd like to see messages that no longer exist on the original server be deleted/hidden in the FUD Forums.
The owners of the server are nice enough to send me an automated message each time this cancellation occurs. But I can't figure out a way to correlate that to a specific message. This info contains the NNTP ID.
So in the meantime (before handling the cancellation is part of FUD forums--if ever), I need a script that can take the NNTP ID (unique identifier) and either:
1) return enough info that I can confidently delete the message (the main reason this happens is because a user will post something twice and the times are very close together, plus it looks the time that is displayed isn't the time of posting but rather the time of syncing--so it doesn't match the info I get).
or
2) automatically delete/hide the message
Any suggestions/comments?
James.
