I'm currently experimenting with newsgroups under Exchange 2003.
We have some internal newsgroups which people within the company and some individuals from outside can post into and read etc.
I've re-created these without a problem.
For public newsgroups we get a feed from our leased line ISP, so under "Feeds" I've been able to set that up so that public groups are available.
Does anybody know if it is possible to assign an e-mail address to an internal/private newsgroup?
The books we have on the subject appear to indicate this is certainly very possible with regards "Public Folders" under Exchange, however I don't think people can use a standard newsreader to access Public folders via NNTP?
Anyway, an example of what I'm asking.
I create a couple of internal private news groups:
mycompany.dev.project1
mycompany.dev.project2
This works fine, I can connect to the NNTP server via "Agent" for example and create and read posts in those groups.
Is it possible to assign an e-mail address to these news groups?
Example bing mycompany.dev.project2 - [email protected]
With a public folder it would appear that each public folder gets an appearance in the Active Directory and I can simply right-click on it and establish an e-mail address for the newsgroup.
However with this NNTP server none of the newsgroups I'm creaing are getting the option of being "e-mail aware" either at time of creation of afterwards.
But....if I create Public folders for these "news groups" then I don't think people can use newsreaders to access them.
Any ideas?
