SUMMARY
A large number of NNTP pull newsfeeds can create a significant amount of
overhead on your Microsoft Exchange Server computer. This can slow response
times for other operations such as servicing NNTP newsreader clients. If you
have a Microsoft Exchange Server computer configured to support NNTP
newsreaders, and you would like to disable support for pull newsfeeds, create
the following DWORD registry value and set its value to 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\
ParametersSystem\NNTP NewNews Disabled MORE INFORMATION
This can be useful in cases where your computer is freely accessible on your
intranet or the Internet, and you do not want people to pull newsfeeds from
your server.
