papercut1
Simple and extensible nntp server
Usage
papercut [{[-f] | [--foreground]}]
Overview
This manual page documents briefly the papercut command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate existing web based message board software with an Usenet front-end.
However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and retrieve messages from various source and formats.
Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured news transport system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual news software features.
