[Mailman-Users] Fwd: Question on gate_news script

[Jon Carnes]

Give it a whack and let us know how it works (or doesn't work).  I've done 
the same thing myself - but ended up writing a simple script to move the 
new News posts off the News server and sent back to the list.  It gets 
tricky when you don't own the original mailing list.

I think if you set the *disallowed* Header's properly and later (after 
everything is working) automate the deletion of held messages, then you 
will have most of the battle won.  You may also have to restrict the 
posting of any traffic from <listname>-admin or whatever to stop any 
password information from being forwarded on.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
