Following from Kelvin G1EMM -

NNTP requires /spool/news to exist by the way.
POP reguires file /popusers to have username & passwords in it.. eg.

user1:pass1:
user2:pass2:

where the user names are the mailbox names on YOUR machine that they
will be emptying.

Here are my commands from /autoexec.net

#---------------------------------------------------
#
# Wake up the NNTP process to start receiving any outstanding news.
#
nntp addserver slug.pws.bull.com 3600 comp.binaries.ibm.pc*,comp.graphics*
#
nntp addserver nigel.ee.udel.edu 3600 comp.sources.x*,comp.windows.x*
#
# nntp group
#
nntp kick slug.pws.bull.com
#
nntp kick nigel.ee.udel.edu
#
#---------------------------------------------------
#
# Set up the POP environment to start receiving any outstanding mail.
#
pop mailbox fromzard
#
pop mailhost zardoz.uk22.bull.com
#
pop userdata kelvin kelvpass
#

Please see previous message on version emm82817. Pick up
this file and modify your autoexec first.

I am implementing the POP server at WA3DSP. To try it out you
should add the following to your autoexec.

pop mailbox billc 
pop mailhost wa3dsp.ampr.org
pop userdata bill w3gjc 

To test  send mail to billc@wa3dsp  and once it gets
there do a 'pop kick'. It should be returned to your system under
the same name. Do a 'n' in bm to see the current notesfiles.

If this works OK I will add this feature for those who are not
on-line on a regular basis. Ron might fit into this category.

Final Note -

The 'pop mailbox', 'pop mailhost', and 'pop userdata' are
implemented at each station wishing to receive pop mail.
Coordination with the server is of course required as the
server must put the 'popusers' file in root with the userdata
matching the users. Do not forget to do a 'start pop' at the
server or none of this will work.

This does work and we are using it on our Phila. Subnet.
