<h1>Mail To News Gateway</h1>

<h2>Abstract</h2>

The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an <a
href="ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2033.txt">LMTP</a> service
for use in conjunction with a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA)
like <a href="http://www.sendmail.org/">Sendmail</a> or <a
href="http://www.postfix.org/">Postfix</a>, 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 <a href="ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc0977.txt">NNTP</a>
service (like <a href="http://www.isc.org/products/INN/">INN</a>).
Delivery must take place immediately or the transaction fails. OSSP
lmtp2nntp relies on the queueing 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.
