.SH NAME
pygn2m - Python Gateway news to mail
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pygs
.BR -t 
.IR recipient@domain1
.BR -s
.IR sender@domain2

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B IMPORTANT:
this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in
.B 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.

.SH 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.
