<div align="justify">I for one would <i>love</i> to make some of
the mailboxes, where I archive some private mailing lists,
available to people via NNTP (read-only) -- one list per
"news-group". In my opinion, it is a method much superior to the
perversely popular HTML archivers (like mhonarc or the mailman's
component), for example.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, every time I ventured to configure such a set up, I
could not do it in reasonable time and was forced to abandon the
effort.<br>
<br>
Whereas there are plenty of howtos and manuals for setting up an
IMAP-server with Cyrus, the NNTP is either undocumented, or the
documentation is so old, it refers to obsoleted versions of the
software. If someone using NNTP were to document it, maybe, the
user-base would start growing?<br>

Maybe, if Cyrus developers "ate their own dogfood" -- keeping the
archives of this mailing list available via NNTP, for example?..<br>
