Hello, I have been experimenting with using mail2news in order to read the Debian mailing lists. I have problems dealing with cross posts. Let me explain:
eg I am subscribed to debian-policy as [EMAIL PROTECTED] My .forward-debian-policy file contains: "|/usr/bin/mail2news -n local.lists.debian.policy -x internet -o 'Snoopys Gateway' -S || true" Similarly, for debian-policy: [580] [snoopy:bam] ~ >cat .forward-debian-hurd "|/usr/bin/mail2news -n local.lists.debian.hurd -x internet -o 'Snoopys Gateway' -S || true" Note the "| true" part at the end. That is in case the message is rejected, because if it is a duplicate (eg if it has been cross-posted to both debian-policy and debian-hurd), I don't want it to send a bounce message back to the mailing list. I consider it an ugly hack. It doesn't even seem to be documented in mail2news documentation. What is the recommended way of dealing with cross-posts? I would rather have them show up in news as... umph... cross posts ;-). I suspect this might be easier said then done though. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
