Fwd: [Mailman-Users] Bi-directional news gateway?
Folks,
I sent this to the mailman-users mailing list, and didn't get a useful answer. Is there someone on this list who may be more familiar with this issue?

Folks,
Okay, question time. I've set up a bi-directional gateway with the newsgroup comp.protocols.time.ntp. I can post to the mailing list and have that go through to the newsgroup just fine. However, I subscribed myself to the mailing list, and I'm not getting any of the postings to the newsgroup sent to me.
Is there a cron job that I've missed, or some other advice you can give me regarding the setup of bi-directional news gateways?
Thanks!-- Brad Knowles, brad.knowles@skynet.be

Yes. cron/gate_news is the script you need to run to pull stuff off the news server.

Ahh, okay. Must have missed that in the documentation or the FAQ.
Trying this out now. I'll let you know how things go.

Indeed. This did the trick. The mailing list questions@ntp.org is now working, as a bi-directional gateway to comp.protocols.time.ntp.
Thanks again!-- Brad Knowles, brad.knowles@skynet.be

Okay, next question -- how do I auto-approve all posts coming from the newsgroup, while still applying the Privacy Options, Sender Filters to messages being sent via e-mail?

One more question -- we've got a subject prefix that we're putting on all mail messages coming into our mailing lists. But this sort of thing really isn't appropriate on the newsgroup. Is there any way we can apply the subject prefix after the incoming mail message is posted to the newsgroup?
