Ultimately, isn't that also just an NNTP post, via lmtp2nntp? If the message is inserted directly into this folder via just lmtp, then the Reply-To (Newsgroups, etc.) header won't be added anyway.... > I'm having a bad day, so this little problem (and any possible Bummer. > solutions) are just adding to my frustration. If anybody has any > suggestions, I'm all ears. I know about the Reply-To evil stuff, but isn't this a bit different? I mean, we're talking about a newsgroup, not a mailing list. With a mailing list, the Reply-To munging would impact all those on that list. However, with a newsgroup, it's only impacting that newsgroup, right? Of course I guess this all gets *really* muddy if you're doing any sort of mirroring between a list and a newsgroup (anybody try that yet?), but that's something for the implementor of such a gateway to worry about, right? -- Amos --- Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
