Hi,
so now the real problem I am dealing with -- mail2news bidirectional
gateway.
On leafnode 1.* I used mail2news patch by Nikita Youschenko
(http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/leafnode/ -- I wonder something like that has
not been included in leafnode 2.*, it would make great fit IMHO, but I know
I am not a programmer, and I won't do it, so I shut up on this), so I have
to install some mail2news gateway. I tried pygn (just because it is
packaged for Debian; any other suggestions?), but I haven't managed to
configured it yet. This is what I did (with expected workflow):
1) mail is read by my kmail (user matej) and if it is list message which
should be gatewayed to news, it is bounced to news@localhost -- this step
has been working perfectly for couple of years and it has not been changed.
2) news' .procmailrc contains a lot of rules like this (for news2mail):
ARG = $1
:0 bh:
* ARG ?? local-mail-comp-boston
| pygn2m -l $HOME/log-pygn2m -d -t discuss@blu.org -s ceplm@seznam.cz
and like this (for mail2news):
:0 bh:
* ^List-Id:.*pkg-lyx-devel.lists.alioth.debian.org
| pygm2n -l $HOME/log-pygm2n -d -n local.mail.comp.lyx-debian
/etc/news/local.groups is this:
local.mail.comp.cambridge m Cambridge (UK) LUG
local.mail.comp.boston m Boston LUG
local.mail.comp.surrey m Surrey LUG
local.mail.comp.bosto-admin m Boston admins
local.mail.comp.oxford m Oxford LUG
local.mail.comp.lyx-debian m Maintainer of LyX on Debian
local.mail.comp.scottish m Scottish LUG
local.mail.comp.northwales m NWales LUG
local.mail.comp.southwales m SWales LUG
local.mail.comp.czdebian m Diskuse českých uživatel Debianu
local.mail.vcfc.random m Random list z VCFC
local.mail.vcfc.branik m Diskuse ČCE Braník
local.mail.soc.oakeshott m Conversation -- discussion about Oakeshott
local.mail.soc.read-only m různá RO sociologie
local.mail.zpravy m NG pro různé zpravodajství
local.test m testing group
and this is /etc/news/moderators (w/o comments):
## Public hierarchies with exceptions.
fido7.*:%s@fido7.ru
ffm.*:%s@moderators.arcornews.de
fj.*:%s@moderators.fj-news.org
medlux.*:%s@news.medlux.ru
nl.*:%s@nl.net
relcom.*:%s@moderators.relcom.ru
ukr.*:%s@sita.kiev.ua
# local groups are moderated by news@localhost
local.*:news+%s@localhost
# and all gmane stuff should be posted directly
# gmane does its own thing on it
gmane.*:
## Direct all other public hierarchies to the master moderator database.
*:%s@moderators.isc.org
Even though (according to ~news/log-procmail) all messages seem to be
running correctly, I don't get a message with moderated newsgroups.
However, without moderating newsgroups, I don't know how to make work
sending emails from leafnode to email.
Any thoughts or help, please?
Best,
Matěj
