mailpaths

Changi will send unapproved local postings in moderated groups to the email address of the moderator. The program reads the mailpaths file to determine the correct email address based on the name of the moderated newsgroup.

The mailpaths file is a simple text file containing one or more lines. Blank lines or lines starting with character # are ignored, while all other lines must contain two space separated items.


group mailaddress
group
The newsgroup pattern, to which the following mailaddress should apply.

mailaddress
The moderator's email address. It may optionally contain a single %s token, which is substituted by the name of the newsgroup with dots converted to dashes.

The file is processed sequentially. The first match is the one being used.

Example:

gnu.* %s@prep.ai.mit.edu
*     %s@moderators.uu.net
This will direct local posts to moderated subgroups of gnu to prep.ai.mit.edu and local posts to all other moderated groups to moderators.uu.net. The name of the newsgroup itself is used as the user-id, after all dots had been converted to dashes.

For example, local posts to comp.os.os2.announce will be send to comp-os-os2-announce@moderators.uu.net.
