NAME

       pygn2m - Python Gateway news to mail

SYNOPSIS

       pygs -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 [ -e envelope@domain3 ] [ -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.

       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.

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.
