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:
