Newsgroup Download to Database

I need a newsgroup download utility which saves messages in a SQL Sever Database. I require a table to pass in the newsgroup name ([login to view URL]) and newsgroup name ([login to view URL]). This table should also track the last update, the last messageid downloaded and if the newsgroup is active (to be downloaded - 0 or 1). This table should also have a flag to download attachments or not. Also, it should have a threshold of how large attachments should be downloaded, if attachments are allowed ie 1meg, 1000megs. The utility will be scheduled to download the contents of the newsgroups to a relational table using this information. The downloaded contents will be stored in a separate table. All contents available will be stored in separate columns. Example: subject, dateposted (datetime field), from (broken out to username, email address), messageid, replyto (broken out to replytousername), replyto email address, header, references and message. If the message contains attachments they should be stored in a separate table relationally. You will run into roadblocks of inconsistent dateposted, from and replyto fields which vary based on what client posted the message. It is important that the winning bidder provide a best solution for this problem. Redundancy is OK if you wish to store the original dateposted field then the formatted datetime dateposted field, for example. We will supply the exact database structure to the winning bidder. We have a java utility which offers MOST of the funcationality described (except for attachment table, filesize threshold, datetime and from parsing to separate fields). If necessary we will provide this utility to be modified. This option is to be treated as a last resort and if used the bidding price should be lowered accordingly.
