+ OSSP lmtp2nntp - Mail to News Gateway
+ Version 0.1.0 (08-Sep-2001)
- The lmtp2nntp program is a LMTP service which is usually invoked by a MTA.
- Input messages get their headers slightly reformatted to match network news
- article format. The article is then posted or fed into a NNTP service.
- Delivery must take place immediately or the transaction fails. A LMTP
- service relies on the queuing capabilities of its MTA. To support this, the
- program returns proper delivery status notification which indicates
- successful completed action, persistent transient failure or permanent
- failure.
+ ABSTRACT
+
+ The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an LMTP service for use in conjunction
+ with an MTA (like Sendmail), providing a reliable 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
+ indicates successful completed action, persistent transient failure or
+ permanent failure.
