Re: Feed Mails to SN internal group?

* Eric Wick <[email protected]>:

| is it possible to feed mails via the procmailrc to an internal sn
| newsgroup? I want mailinglist and systemmails sorted to my news. What
| things do i need?

I'm saving the mails in pure mbox format with names list.bla...

Wrote a small script which is part of a big news bash script
that process these files:

cd $incoming_dir || fail
for i in list.*
do 
   if test -f $i
   then
      counter="0"
      counter=`expr $counter + "1"`
      list=${i:14}
      listprefix="list."

      csplit -z -f "$counter-" -n 4 - /^"From "/ {*} <$i >/dev/null

      for j in `ls -1A $counter-????`
      do
         if cat $j | grep -v "^From " | /usr/lib/sn/snmail -cs $list $listprefix
         then
            rm $j
         else
            mail postmaster <$j && rm $j
         fi
      done
      rm $i
   fi
done

Bad part that we have to define $list and $listprefix to
post to a newsgroup, and we can't simpley define a groupname
like 'bla'.
