I just set up Mailman 2.1.5 with the intention of utilizing the NNTP/Mailman gatewaying process.
From what I see, it doesn't use any authentication. The server we're using on the other side is Typhoon, and I've asked if it can just permit the IP; however, I'd just prefer to have authentication going on like everyone else.
Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Good question. I've looked through the web interface and didn't see anything about authorization. I also can't get the NNTP gatewaying to work at all. I'm not sure if there's something I'm doing wrong or my choice of public access servers is just trash.

Really. This is interesting; anyone?
I am setting up Mailman now, upon which we will *depend* upon the NNTP gatewaying feature to work. This could look very bad.

I got it to work.
- I used a reliable news service (I figured I'd try my account with giganews).
- I put the following into mm_cfg.py:
NNTP_USERNAME = 'usernameeee' NNTP_PASSWORD = 'passwoooord'

The existing NNTP feature does not include any authentication that I know of. There are a number of known existing issues with the NNTP gatewaying function, some of which I'm hoping to get addressed soon. But authentication is not on my list of things I'm concerned about.

from Defaults.py:

NNTP_USERNAME = None
NNTP_PASSWORD = None
Is this not what you are discussing?
