Offline news access (was: smail config for an ISP with PPP+SMTP+POP3 - How to do?)

["Daniel Gross" <dg@bingo.baynet.de>]

Hi all!

Thanks to the ones, who helped me with my "smail configuration problem".
(Martin Bialasinski, David Stern and Bob Nielsen)

But, NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Hey it's not so different at all.
Now that my eMail works fine, I also want to access to USENET News. Until now,
I could read it online (using tin), but the german Telekom (our phone company) 
has horrible fares, so I want to download my (a little more than a) handfull 
newsgroups, and read it offline. Another thing is, that the "From:" field is 
not filled with the right address. It allways contains dg@127.0.0.1 which is 
not very usefull (even when it prevents you from spam mails).

Can anyone help me again? What should I do? Configuring my own (local) news
server? Using an other newsreader?

Thanks in advance!

Daniel Gross
