For every message that your local innd receives an entry is written to a so called outgoing file which contains the filename and the message id of this article. These files are stored in /var/spool/news/out.going and are used by rpost to post the articles to your providers news server. You need to enter the same name in get-news.conf as in your newsfeeds file from inn. For example, my newsfeeds contains the following line: remotehost/news.bln.de:*:Ap,Tf,Wnm:remotehost So a reference to every message written by myself will be stored in /var/spool/news/out.going and rpost needs to know the name of this file, so my get-news.conf contains: server: localhost remoteserver: news.bln.de outgoingfile: remotehost sedcmd: /^NNTP-Posting-Host:\|^Xref:/d This configuration file will be used by the /usr/sbin/get-news and .../put-news script.
