No problem! I've been running that setup for years, and should have got around to writing it up a long time ago. > My mail setup differs slightly (postfix/cyrus, no procmail), so I'm not > entirely sure yet were to plug the mail->news feed, especially since I > don't want to do user specific filtering on the postfix side. Maybe via > cyrus/sieve ... Can't help you there. One thing that did occur to me just now is that now I use procmail I could probably dispense with the entries in /etc/aliases and pipe directly to mail2news from .procmailrc. The reason it's like it is is because using procmail is only fairly recent. I used instead to have an additional subscription to the list under an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] But in order to post so some lists, I then also needed my own subscription set to nomail. > Those are minor issues though, apparently you got the ground pretty much > covered, so many thanks for that! > > Incidentally, did you also already think about what it would need to make > such a server public, including posting?

Hmmm ... anyway, we'll see, one step after the other :) I think to do it properly for public access the news server and gateway may need to be integrated on the same server as the list handler. And it's not really something I have the resources or interest in doing myself.
