I am aware of rmgroup/newgroup limitations, but couldn’t two
leafnode-2 servers communicate messages from one to another via
fetchnews? If I would install leafnode with pyg (email-to-news
bidirectional gateway https://gitlab.com/mcepl/pyg) inside of my
company’s network (behind VPN), could I then fetch a there-local
newsgroup to my local leafnode-2 via fetchnews? After all,
fetchnews pretends to be just a regular newsreader, doesn’t it?
So, leafnode server should not be able to even recognize that
those messages fetched by it will be propagated to other
newsserver?
Best,
Matěj
