Noffle Patches

Noffle is a Usenet news server optimized for few users and low speed dial-up connections to the Internet. It acts as a server to news clients running on the local host, but gets its news feed by acting as a client to a remote server.
It's webpage is http://noffle.sourceforge.net/.

The reason why I picked Noffle as my local newsserver of choice is because of it's rich features, and the very easy to get-to-know source code. It took me less than 15 minutes to get acquainted with the code.

Disable Message-ID generation

This patch disables the generation of the Message-ID. I wrote it because my upstream news server seems half broken: it often refuses to accept the Message-ID's that are locally generated, even though they're perfectly valid.
The fix in this case, is to let the upstream server generate the Message-ID, not Noffle (or any client).

To use it, patch the Noffle source with this patch, and add the entry add-messageid-if-missing no to your noffle.conf.

The patch is here, at SourceForge.

This patch has been submitted and accepted by the Noffle maintainer, and will appear in future versions.
