# pygm2n(1)

Python Gateway mail to news

## 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:

:0 bh \* ^From \*mailinglist-request@lists.debian.org \| $HOME/pygm2n -n local.debian.mailinglist
