I'm attempting to implement a lmtp to news gateway using this program:
http://www.ossp.org/pkg/tool/lmtp2nntp/
I made an RPM for lmtp2nntp and installed, and recompiled my exim binary
(4.24) with TRANSPORT_LMTP support. So far so good. :) I should not that
my news server is on another machine, in case it matters.
Now, can anyone help figure out how to configure a router and transport
to actually use this? I'm assuming the transport will look very similar
to the example in the docs:
lmtp:
driver = lmtp
command = /usr/sbin/lmtp2nntp -i /etc/lmtp2nntp.conf {options}??
batch_max = 20
user = mail
So, how would a router look that could somehow match a given list and
know how to send it? Ie, let's say I have an Amazon email address and a
newsgroup for amazon talk (imagine amazon is a client or something).
Emails sent to 'amazon-news@???', I want to pass to this lmtp2nntp
program so that it gets posted to something like 'fluid.clients.amazon'.
I think this will require some fancy matching commands, much like my
SpamAssassin stuff:
spamcheck_router:
no_verify
check_local_user
# When to scan a message :
# - it isn't already flagged as spam
# - it isn't already scanned
# - it isn't local
# - it isn't from one internal domain user to another
condition = "${if and { {!def:h_X-Spam-Flag:} {!eq
{$received_protocol}{spam-scanned}} {!eq {$received_protocol}{local}}
{!eq {$sender_address_domain}{$domain}} } {1}{0}}"
driver = accept
transport = spamcheck
Can any of you exim.conf config masters out there provide a lil stepping
stone to get me going in the right direction? My initial thought is to
name all email gateway accounts with "-news" in them, so I can trap them
in a router condition? That sound like a good plan?
Thanks! Private email is A-OK too. :) Once I get this figured out, I'll
put into an example file bundled with the RPMs....
