NAME
pygn2m - Python Gateway news to mail
SYNOPSIS
pygs -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 [ -e envelope@domain3 ] [
-h ]
DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is
in devel. state. try -h option for more detailed option.
pygn2m reads from stdin a nntp article, sending it to recipient@domain1
a rfc822 compliant email setting Resent-Sender: sender@domain2 and
envelope envelope@domain3 if exists, else sender@domain2.
If pygn2m reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is
considered an absolute path to an article (ie in a spool), so pygn2m
will open and read it.
EXAMPLES
There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg
I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng). Every
article posted in local.moderated is sent to mailgate, in its
.procmailrc I’ve put:
:0 bhc * ^To: *local-moderated | $HOME/pygs -t kalfa@localhost -e
mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it -s ’cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it’
where kalfa@localhost is the recipient (usually a mailing list)
Here is an header extract from kalfa@localhost mbox:
From mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it From: whosentnntparticle@domain4 To:
kalfa@localhost Resent-Sender: cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it
note that sender and envelope are different. rfc822 says that Sender:
have to be a human user (not a program or similia). envelope can
mailgate user.
