NAME

       pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news

SYNOPSIS

       pygm2n -n newsgroups [ -s newsserver ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state.  try -h option for more detailed option.

       pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799
       compliant.

       If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox, so pygm2n	will  open
       and read it.

       Note that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email.

EXAMPLES

       There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg

       I  created  mailgate  user  (moderator of local.moderated ng).  Subscribe to a list with this user (or simply email one message to).  Every
       email posted to this user will send to newsgroups, in its .procmailrc I've put something like:

       :0 bh * ^From *mailinglist-request@lists.debian.org | $HOME/pygm2n -n local.debian.mailinglist

NAME

       subscriptions - Default recommended subscriptions

DESCRIPTION

       The pathetc/subscriptions file contains a list of newsgroups that is returned by the NNTP command LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS.

       Clients that support this command usually send it the first time they connect to a new news server.  They use the returned list to
       initialize the list of subscribed newsgroups.  The subscriptions file therefore should contain groups intended for new users, for testing,
       or that contain FAQs and other useful information for first-time Usenet users.

       The syntax of the subscriptions file is trivial; it is a simple list of newsgroup names, one per line.  The order of newsgroups may be
       significant; the news reading client may present the groups in that order to the user.

EXAMPLE

       A typical subscriptions file may look like:

	   news.announce.newusers
	   news.newusers.questions
	   local.test
	   local.general
	   local.talk
	   misc.test
	   misc.test.moderated
	   news.answers
	   news.announce.newgroups

       This gives the client the FAQs and question newsgroup for new users first, then a local newsgroup for testing and various commonly-read
       local discussion groups, followed by the world-wide test groups, all the FAQs, and announcements of new world-wide newsgroups.  If there is
       a local new users group, one might want to list it first.
