Papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate existing web based message board software with an Usenet front-end.

However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and retrieve messages from various source and formats.

This package contains the following storage classes:

  - Phorum web bulletin board (on MySQL or PostgreSQL),
  - phpBB web bulletin board,
  - PHPNuke/NukeBB web bulletin board,
  - proxying another NNTP server,
  - simple MySQL database,
  - maildirs,
  - mboxes.

Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured news transport system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual news software features.
