# whitelist(5)

the PYthon Gateway Script

## NAME

**pygs** – the PYthon Gateway Script

## SYNOPSIS

pygs  -t recipient@domain1 -s sender@domain2 \[-e envelope@domain3\] \[-d\] \[-T\] \[-V\] \[-l logfile\] \[-w whitelist\] \[-h\]

## DESCRIPTION

NOTE: this man page is to be continued :)

pygs read from stdin a nntp article, sending it to recipient@domain1 a rfc822 compliant email setting Resent-Sender: sender@domain2 and envelope envelope@domain3 if exists, else sender@domain2.

## OPTIONS

## EXAMPLES

There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg

I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng). Every article posted in local.moderated is sent to mailgate,  in its .procmailrc I've put:

:0 bhc  \* ^To: \*local-moderated \| $HOME/pygs -t kalfa@localhost -e mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it -s 'cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it'

where kalfa@localhost is the recipient (it usually is a mailing list)

an header extract from kalfa@localhost mbox:

From mailgate@students.cs.unibo.it From: whosentnntparticle@domain4 To: kalfa@localhost Resent-Sender: cosimo@students.cs.unibo.it

note that sender and envelope are different. rfc822 says that Sender: have to be a human user (not a program or similia). envelope can mailgate user.
