✨ NNTPTEST 💅

okay bestie, gather round, because this is <pink>nntptest</pink> from the Cyrus IMAP documentation and she is literally the most fun way to poke at an NNTP server 🦋

It's an interactive NNTP test program — like, you talk to it, it talks to the server, vibes are exchanged, commands go out. 🎀

Plot twist though 👀 — this binary is actually installed as a hard linked copy of imtest(1). Same file, different name, different era of your life. It's giving shapeshifter energy fr fr.

What does it let you do? The whole point, bestie:

  • you get to authenticate with the server ✅
  • and then send NNTP commands to it 📨

That's it. That's the whole serve. Iconic, honestly.

Also hanging out here in the NAME section like it owns the place: nntpd(8) — the actual daemon, iykyk 👑
