Now what happens is innfeed runs and creates the files below in  /usr/local/news/spool/innfeed

-rw-r--r--  1 news  news        0 Mar 14 20:05 innfeed-dropped.A001614
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news        0 Mar 14 20:15 innfeed-dropped.A001836
-rw-------  1 news  news   401408 Mar 14 20:05 innfeed.core
-rw-r--r--  1 news  news        5 Mar 14 20:15 psi.lock
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news        0 Mar 14 20:15 psi.output
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news  1717139 Mar 14 20:40 telus.input
-rw-r--r--  1 news  news        5 Mar 14 20:15 telus.lock
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news   358635 Mar 14 20:10 telus.output

The telus.output just grows and keeps getting bigger, from what i can tell this is the file of posts that can not get out?
It seems that stuff from /usr/local/news/spool/outgoing/innfeed! gets moved to /usr/local/news/spool/innfeed/telus.output 
I guess as its try to get out.....

Now in /usr/local/news/log  i have these files....

drwxr-xr-x   2 news  news      1024 Mar 14 03:04 OLD

People tell me i should have something in the innfeed.log and the news.* files but I have nothing!

My main provider Telus tells me that they only poll my server for posts once a day???? 
But this guy might be a couple cans short of a six pack...
:)
Is this true or do the posts go out as needed/posted??? 
A user here on this inn mailing list said if you can telnet to sherry.on.tac.net(my news feed provider) at port 119 it should accept my outgoing posts.....

So there it is in a nut shell!!!

Any ideas ????

Any help is so gratefully appreciated!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance
