I have the same question sort of.

Based on your message here I finally got around to switching
from Souper95 to vsoup. I really like the increased
speed, thank you.

The situation I have is that I have two different news
servers that don't carry the same content.

One is a regural USNET server with the normal groups.

The other is a private system running a private news server
that has no connection to USNET.

I have separate newsrc files for each one and have no
problem GETTING the news from every place.

I generally get all my news, email, ect. in one pass then
start up YARN and start to reply to things.

The problem is I'm always SENDING my replies to the wrong
place.

If I send e-mail to the private news server it bounces (it
should as its not a e-mail server) but this means I have to
go resend each message from the MAILED folder.

If I send the 'private' news replies to USENET or USNET to
'private' server it doesn't work because they don't know
about each others groups.

So after that long explanation on can I have VSOUP send The
Right Stuff to The Right Place with out me having to mess
with different batch files, based solely on the contents of
the reply.rep packet?
