Question

Is there an NNTP command to return the count of NewsGroups on an USENET server? (Without having to retrieving the entire list.)

No, such a command is not available in RFC 3977.

Is there a "standard" way to only retrieving new posts in a group? (and I found `newnews` command disabled by many usenet server?) – TRX Mar 24 '15 at 07:00
