This file contains modifications which implement a feature that can restrict users from posting or sending mail. In the WIN.INI [WinVN] section, If AuthReqPost=1 or AuthReqMail=1, the corresponding function will be disabled unless the user has successfully authenticated himself/herself with the news server. This feature is implemented in the reader itself--the user might very well have permission to post or send mail as far as the NNTP or SMTP servers are concerned. This feature was implemented for public microcomputer labs at Michigan State University. Mark Riordan 13 Aug 94
