Raw Normal View History

The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an LMTP service for use in
conjunction with an MTA (like Sendmail), providing a reli-
able real-time mail to news gateway. Input messages get
their headers slightly reformatted to match Usenet news
article format. The article is then posted or feeded into
a remote NNTP service (like INN). Delivery must take place
immediately or the transaction fails. OSSP lmtp2nntp
relies on the queuing capabilities of the MTA in order to
provide a fully reliable service. For this the program
returns proper delivery status notification which indi-
cates successful completed action, persistent transient
failure or permanent failure.
