newsserver of your ISP in screen 1.14 with mbsetup. All other users need
to run a newsserver on the bbs machine or another networked machine. You
could use <A HREF="http://www.isc.org">inn news</A> for a newsserver.

In each mail area you can set the number of articles to get in one run. If you
set this too high, mbfido will scan all headers on the newsserver for new
articles. This can cost a lot of time. The best thing to do is to set this value
about four times higher then the average number of messages per day in that
group. If you set it too low, warning messages will appear in the logfile.
