How does the NNTP peering protocol works?

309 Views Asked by At

I can't find any doc online and i got lost on the RFC.

Could someone please explain me how does a NNTP server peering with another accept news?

I can only use my imagination:

 telnet nntp-server 119
 Trying nntp-server...
 Connected to nntp-server.
 Escape character is '^]'.
 200 nntp-server
 ihave <[message id?]>
 440 feeding not allowed
 [my imagination capabilities ends here]

I only want to receive news, not to send them.

Any tip? Many thanks.
