Question for the #Lazyweb - anybody know of a fetchmail type utility to read NNTP groups and write to Maildir?
I've searched quite a bit and haven't found anything - which may mean no such thing exists, or my search skills are lacking. Perhaps both.

@jzb are you looking perhaps for leafnode, or more specifically its fetchnews(1) component?

jzb@mastodon.social@jarkko That might be the answer. Just compiled it and it seems to do what I want, except it fetched one message and then complains about missing cache directory. Create the directory and then it's unhappy saying "invalid cache directory."
I think it will do the trick once I wrestle with it a bit more, though. Thanks!

jzb@mastodon.social@gnomon Maybe! I'll take a look. fdn also looks promising.

@jzb could I trouble you for a link to fdn? I'm curious to learn more about it but Google is... not good for searching the web anymore, apparently.

jzb@mastodon.social@gnomon To be fair there's a ton of fdn name-collisions out there... here you go!
