Two things: firstly, is there a cleaner way to achieve what the
transport and director I attach below do ? I really want to do only
one lookup while mapping from local addresses to newsgroup names. The
solution below does seem to work correctly and be reasonably
efficient, but it's a bit of a hack (particularly, storing random data
- the newsgroup name - in the local-part).
Secondly, I notice that the appendfile transport driver doesn't seem
to log the unique filename it uses when delivering to a directory.
I'd like it to do this so that I can track messages through the logs.
For example, there's nothing much to relate these two entries, one
from Exim and one from my gateway script, apart from the newsgroup
name:
1998-03-05 13:59:52 0yAbBd-0008QM-00 => chiark.test <list-newsgate-test@???> D=mailinglists_dir_dir T=mailinglists_dir_transp
[32422]: 0yAbBf-000BjK => chiark.test
(The latter indicates that q0yAbBf-000BjK was sent successfully to
chiark.test.)
