I have mail2news set up locally; I wouldn't read debian-* if I hadn't. I've been intending to learn to use a better mail reader than Pine for ages (probably mutt), but I haven't got round to it, and I can't read this sort of list unthreaded. All I did was newgroup a few moderated groups on my local news server and write a few mildly demented lines of exim filter (available upon request, if people don't want to write their own). The only problems I had were when a couple of error messages accidentally bounced to debian-user-request :( - fortunately, they didn't seem to go to debian-user. Remember to actually test your filter files before installing them and you should be OK. I haven't got news2mail working yet, largely due to lack of time and inclination; I'm quite happy to use reply by mail and let a custom bit of my trn $MAILHEADER variable set the headers up properly. I can imagine there being objections to the possibility of lots of errors bouncing to debian-user, but I'm afraid that I'll probably leave my mail2news gateway running now. It can't be a global ban anyway - I know that Ian Jackson gateways bits of debian-*, though he may be a special case due to being a lot more competent than most. :) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trinity College, Cambridge, and Computer Science [riva.ucam.org]

linux.debian.user gatewayed no more?
[[previously to noavail sent to the listmaster]] Dear People of the Debian Movement, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, please redirect me. For some month I enjoyed reading linux.debian.user, as all of a sudden the fload of messages dropped drastically. Some months before my own postings seased to appear too. So it seems debian is getting hostile against newsgroups:) Or where those newsgroups 'illegal' to begin with? I could switch to the digest of the mailinglist but I prefer news. I could bridge the mailinglist locally, but I heard that you object. So my questions are: 0) did Debian policy with respect to netnews change recently? 1) is there an official bridge to netnews? 2) is it possible to post (to debian-user) even if not subscribed? (I'll find out now:) 3) is it allowed to have a local bridge, and what pitfalls are to be prevented? Thank you for your time. -- groetjes, carel
