Ah, cool. Thought it was likely to exist. And it looks trivial to use:

I've just installed it on bleb.org and done:
$ r2e new [email protected] # This would be [email protected]
$ r2e add http://maemo.org/community/council/rss.xml
$ cat >.rss2email/config.py <<EOC
DEFAULT_FROM = '[email protected]'
DATE_HEADER = 1
SMTP_SERVER = "localhost:25"
FORCE_FROM = 1
EOC
$ r2e run --no-send
Then put a cronjob in place for every 15 minutes to do 'r2e run'.
Seems to work perfectly.
I'm happy to set this going at [email protected], if someone
on the council can subscribe [email protected] to the list.
Cheers,
Andrew
