• Gating a mailing list

    From Thom LaCosta@1:261/1352 to All on Mon Oct 10 07:38:08 2011
    Hello All!

    I have an an internet mailng list that I want to gate into Fido using IREX.

    The mailing list is confirgured to only allow posts from members of the list.

    Can this be done with IREX?

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    cya,

    yes, first step is to make a email mailbox to irex, and next step is to make a procmail script on it that removes spam headers not wanted in fidonet, when headers is minimal then procmail step is done :)

    next step is to make irex fetch mail from pop3 and gate it to fidonet, how this
    works i dont know, but irex can do it since i was mailhost for one that did it

    Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

    such as GPL-v2 ? :)

    is it btw mailman your list is running on ?, if so it can make nntp sending/recieving, dont know if that is helpfull in your setup

    else i think of make perl script called from procmail, but i dont know perl enough to make one
