I've seen mention that mailman can be used between nntp and e-mail. What I'm looking for is to send nntp messages to e-mail, just one way. I don't need a full gateway such as gmane, just one way is sufficient.
Currently I'm using dovecot-postfix in Ubuntu with leafnode (http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/ )as the nntp server. What would be involved in directing mailman at leafnode, on localhost, to e-mail a particular newsgroup?
thanks,
Thufir

Install Mailman, create a list whose members are the addresses you want to email newsgroup posts to and for that list set:
nntp_host -> your news server (localhost?)
linked_newsgroup -> the name of the newsgroup to gateway from
gateway_to_news - > No
gateway_to_mail -> Yes
and make sure cron is running Mailman's cron/gate_news.

Just to clarify, I'm interested in the other direction of the gateway, pulling news to e-mail, not so much the e-mail to news. That function is supported?

That's what I understood and that's what I meant.
If the list is configured to do so, cron/gate_news will pull new posts from the news group and post them to the Mailman list which will result in their being emailed to the list member(s).
