Rewriting of From lines

Someone asked me for a feuture that I couldn't find in the standard
INN distribution, so I whipped something together and added a new
option to inn.conf. You set it just like 'nnrpdauthsender', like this:

  nnrpdauthfrom: true

and then nnrpd will rewrite the From: line in incoming messages
depending on what it knows about the user from AUTHINFO and a small
passwd like file.

I wrote a password authenticator to go along with this scheme and
called it mcpasswd. You use it just like ckpasswd, but it can do
more. I also wrote a Python script, addnewsuser, to add users to the
passwd file.

You can get my entire INN 2.3.2 tree here:

or just the patches and the two new programs:

Oh, and hi, btw, I'm new to the list! *waves*
