Configuration » Accounts: Account News Mail
This setting determines, which groups are visible to and readable by the user.
The group-selection consists of a list of regular expressions, each
expression separated by one space-character. The expressions are tested
from left to right and the first matching regex-pattern determines, if a
groupname is OK or not. If a regex-expression is preceded by a "!",
it means "not", i. e. no access to such groups.
Examples:
Selection: .*
Meaning: All groups are allowed.
Selection: !.*
Meaning: No groups are allowed (as this is default, the field can remain empty in this case).
Selection: !^internal\. .*
Meaning: All groups except Hamster's internal groups are allowed.
Selection: .* !^internal\.
Meaning: All groups are allowed (remember: first matching pattern determines the result,
and ".*" always matches all groups).
Selection: ^de\. !^internal\.posted ^internal\.
Meaning: All "de"-groups and all "hamster"-groups except "internal.posted" are allowed.
Like the "read" setting above, this setting determines, to which of
these "visible/readable" groups the user may post articles to. If all
groups are allowed, ".*" can be used.
If marked, the user may use the NEWNEWS command. Some clients need this time consuming command to load new news from Hamster (e. g. Microsoft Exchange).
If marked, the user may use the XHSEARCH command, which allows a (time consuming) full text search in the local news database.
If marked, the user is allowed to feed Hamster's NNTP server.
User may add groups/pulls by reading them with newsreader
This setting determines, if the user can add new newsgroups and pulls by just reading them with his newsreader.
If enabled, user's newsreader gets a full list of all groups, that are available on any of the configured newsservers. If he subscribes to one of these groups and pulls articles from it, the group is automatically subscribed in Hamster, too.
