You'll want to check out the IMAP/POP3/NNTP functions (NNTP being the protocall you want to use). http://www.php.net/manual/ref.imap.php You'll probably also want to see the RFC on NNTP so you know how to proporly post news http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc977.html I've never actually done this with PHP so I can't offer you any code.
