Hello,
I'm thinking to setup a news2mail gateway and mailing list for
my cmsc412 class, so that whoever wants to receive all posts in
their mail can just subsribe to a mailing list, and other way it
also should be possible to post by sending mail to list.
I have setup something like this in past, but I have used it
together with my own news server and the news-mail gateway
was part of my server (inn package).
In this case I don't own news server and I don't have access
to newsfeed. So I'll have to run some program from cron
periodically which checks for new posts, say every 15 min,
or something like that.
Now the big question is which program I want to use it for it.
I have checked out freshmeat, and they have there number of
programs which do this task, and I'm not sure which one to use.
Has anyone used anything like this in past? I would like some
recommendations in this matter. The list of various news2
mail programs is in
