What is InterNetNews?

INN (InterNetNews) is a very full-featured and flexible news server package, originally written by Rich Salz in 1991 as a higher performance alternative to C News. It was then maintained for some time by Dave Barr, then by James Brister, and then by Katsuhiro Kondou and I. I've since had to cut back significantly on the work I do on INN due to lack of time, but other people (particularly Julien ÉLIE) have picked up the slack I left.

The main copyright for INN is held by Internet Systems Consortium, Inc., which gratiously hosts the mailing lists and FTP distribution site for INN. This is not the official home page for INN, but instead is a collection of my personal notes on INN and HTML conversions of INN's documentation.

INN doesn't try to be the fastest possible news server, or the simplest, and it's definitely not the easiest to configure. It does try to be one of the most flexible, as well as acceptably fast for even large sites, and over the years it's been used by many people as a platform for experimentation with new news protocol ideas.
