That's also a good idea, although not currently available in the existing code.

Call them before SpamBayes, I think.

Agreed.

I don't know for sure, but I'm betting that SpamBayes is wanting to filter the message as if it is email, rather than news. This means that it will inherently be later in the chain than other news filtering utilities.

Seeing as how there has been a fair amount of discussion about ""enhancing the Usenet support in Mailman, I as this question:

Is it appropriate to change Mailman such that it better supports Usenet or would we be better served by developing a gateway that will accept messages in on STDIN.

Doing things via STDIN would allow us to separate Mailman from the complexities of Usenet (or any thing else for that matter) and concentrate on mailing lists, what Mailman was designed to do.

Using the STDIN approach would dictate the need for a small standalone utility / gateway that could somehow get Usenet messages, be it a small NNTP server that receives a feed, some incarnation of suck, or something even more exotic retrieving messages and handing them out via STDOUT to Mailman's STDIN.

I believe this protocol independent interface between STDOUT and STDIN will make maintenance of things much simpler long term for both Mailman and what ever is used as the Usenet side of the gateway.

(Similar would be done to receive messages from Mailman and post them to Usenet.)
