I bounce around to lots of forums and post a few messages and then bounce on. Some forums measure my absence and send me an email saying they miss me. I assume it's automated.

On the one hand, I don't like that. I view it as quasi-spam. But on the other hand, I can't help myself--I frequently reward them by logging in and responding to a few posts. A compromise would be to send not only the initial welcome email, but another one or two sometime after their first and third post or so.

Another twist on the article idea is to identify 10 or 20 influential bloggers in the UNIX/Linux world and personally contact them and ask them to mention something positive about this site. I'm not big on blogs, so I'm not sure who that would be.

Maybe you could bribe them with a tee shirt or coffee cup.

Speaking of that--do you guys sell tee shirts or coffee cups?

NEWS2MAIL(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      NEWS2MAIL(8)

NAME

       news2mail - a channel script to gateway news into email.

SYNOPSIS

       news2mail

DESCRIPTION

       news2mail  runs	as  a  channel	process underneath innd. It is set up as channel feed in newsfeeds, with different mailing lists as funnel
       entries pointing to it (see below).

       news2mail uses a config file

	      <pathetc in inn.conf>/news2mail.cf

       to map mailing list names to email addresses.

       news2mail causes sendmail to queue the messages for later delivery (to avoid DOS attacks by mass postings).  You  must  run  'sendmail  -q'
       periodically to get the queue processed.

CONFIG FILE

       The  config  file  format  is simple: comments (start with ``#'') and blank lines are ignored. All other lines have two fields on them. The
       first is the list name and is what innd uses (i.e. the site field of the entry in the newsfeeds file). The second field is the actual email
       address to send the article to. In the email message, the ``To'' header will have the mailing list name (i.e. the first field)

	      # list-name    address
	      big-red-ants@ucsd.edu    big-red-ants-digest@ucsd.edu
	      news-software@ucsd.edu   news-software-digest@ucsd.edu

       a set of newsfeeds entries for these lists would be:

	      n2m!:!*:Tc,Ac,Wn*:<PREFIX specified with --prefix at configure>/bin/news2mail

	      big-red-ants@ucsd.edu:rec.pets.redants.*:Tm:n2m!

	      news-software@ucsd.edu:news.software.nntp:Tm:n2m!

       news2mail strips most article headers from the article before mailing. It leaves: From, Subject Date, Organization and Message-ID in there.
       It add a To header with the mailing list name in it.

HISTORY

       news2mail was written by Brian Kantor. This man pagewas written by James Brister This is revision 1.2, dated 1998/12/09.
