Sure Eric,
I'm on SCO unix (i.e. non compatible with everyone else - I cant even
get perl running yet), I've added the following lines to my .maildelivery
To cypherpunks at toad.com | A inews -0 -a list -n list.cypherpunks
Cc cypherpunks at toad.com | A inews -0 -a list -n list.cypherpunks
Apparently-To cypherpunks at toad.com | A inews -0 -a list -n list.cypherpunks
This catches the three most common address headers, unfortunately the
mailing list at cypherpunks doesnt behave like a well-behaved reflecter
should and put its own address in the header (most would add "Sender:
cypherpunks at toad.com")
All this does is pipe messages that match the headers into inews with the args
following. Those args are:
-0 An extension I added, which makes inews always return 0 (otherwise
our braindead delivery agent "mmdf" cycles forever trying to deliver
bad messages and creating a HUGE dead.article.
-a list Add an "Approved: list" line so that inews will post it to a moderated
newsgroup
-n list.cypherpunks Stick it in the newsgroup "list.cypherpunks"
list.cypherpunks is set up moderated, with the moderater being
cypherpunks at toad.com
Happy gatewaying, if someone has a better way of doing this then let me
know.
- Mitra
