Here are a few suggestions of messages to display to news readers
accessing the server.

The contents of this file is displayed in reply to the LIST MOTD command
from readers.

Just rename this file to "motd.nnrpd" and adjust its contents to whatever
message of the day (encoded in UTF-8) you want to communicate.  It is
not an error if this file does not exist nor if it is empty.

For more information, please have a look at the generic motd.news
man page.


Example 1
---------

Attention all users,

This server will be down for scheduled upgrades on February 1st.
It should be back up by 8:00 a.m. February 2nd.
Any questions should be e-mailed to <newsmaster@example.com>.

Apologies for the disturbance.


Example 2
---------

Dear customers,

We are pleased to announce the creation of a support newsgroup, named
"our.company.support".  It was created on February 1st and is intended
to receive your questions about the use of our services.  Our support
team will usually be responding within a couple of days.

Please use this new newsgroup as the preferable means to contact us.


Example 3
---------

This news server now supports TLS connections.  Please configure your
news reader to use TLS when connecting or authenticating.  A tutorial
is available in the "our.company.tutorials" newsgroup to help you do
the change.  Do not hesitate to ask for help in the "our.company.support"
newsgroup if you encounter issues during the change.

Starting from February 1st, unencrypted authentications (that is to
say not using TLS) will be rejected.


Example 4
---------

Support for a new SASL mechanism has been added:  OPENID20 can now be
used to authenticate.  Feel free to use it!
