<P>The procmail config file is at /.procmailrc. If you don't already
|
|
have a procmailrc file, just create one.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Make an entry for each mailing list that is to be gated to your local
|
|
news server. Something like this will do the trick for most cases,
|
|
but might fail for mail Bcc'd to the mailing list.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>For example if your mailing list is 'jokes@netizen.com.au' and you
|
|
want the newsgroup to be called 'lists.jokes' your entry would look
|
|
like this:
|
|
<P>

<HR>
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
:0
|
|
* TOjokes@netizen.com.au
|
|
|/usr/local/bin/mail2news lists.jokes
|

</PRE>

<HR>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>Note there's no space between the 'TO' and the list address on the
|
|
second line.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>You need to put a blank line between the lines for each group. Put as
|
|
many entries as you want, using the same 3 lines for each group, but
|
|
changing the list address and newsgroup.
