NNTP - Match - Mailet

[Jarek Ratajski <jr...@id.pl>]

Do these things work together?
Do I have to change something in config or just write a bit of code
somewhere in James (the second opiton wont be a problem - just do not
have time to analyze and guess whole architecture (POP3, SMTP) - but as
for now changes in James NNTP code where succesfull
(I need to implement something like nntp server, where discussion is
moderated and some articles wait before beeing put into group for a
supervisor acceptance.)

Nope.

In order to navigate the code, it is best to consider NNTP as separate from
SMTP/POP3. There is very little common code between the two.

You could get by with some changes to nntp repository and implementation of
2 rules. A simple minded and not a very completly thought out approach could
be:
- If the a news item matches some characteristic. Record it in a 'pending'
repository otherwise expose it via nntp server.
- If a mail (a) has been posted from a specific user-admin, (b) with
subject:ok, (c) from specific IP addresss and (d) refers to a mail in the
'pending' repository, take the original mail and move it to exposed nntp
repository.

This is may be too inelegant and specific. It would be nicer to have a
general solution that does not involve storing the entire message in memory
and hopefully being multi processor/multi thread safe.
