[Mailman-Users] News gateway

[Jon Carnes]

If you don't want to use a work-around like mine, then you are going to
have to modify the source.

The mods shouldn't be too bad on this... I think I would check for a
header that indicated a gated News message and then allow that on
moderated lists.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
