No, sorry i've missed completely. Excuse me.

But this way is rather suboptimal to manage the gate. First if i setup
an alias like:

mylist.ml: "| /path/to/mailpost local.ml.mylist"

and someone know the alias mylist.ml can easily fill the newsgroup side
with garbage messages, if gate are bidirectional will also fill the
list.
Secondly moderated newsgroup are not needed, it suffices to write a
feed and a script to inject back messages (see
http://www.pluto.linux.it/~gaio/SmartList/SmartGate-1.4.1.tar.gz).

Better will be to extract (sometime in the processing of the mail, but
after that the user have been authenticated if closed list) the message
and pass it over the mail2news script.
I've seen that in wwsympa.conf there's a mhonarc call: could be a good
place to put a wrapper that feed the message to mail2news *and* to
mhonarc, or there's another place?!

In other way: there's a way sometime in the processing of the mail to
attach a script or pipe message to something?!

I've not created list for now, i'm speaking about link in the web
interface. The login and help link are malformed:



<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<table CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0"><tr><td>

TARGET="wws_login">
<font SIZE=-1><b>Login</b></font></a>
</td>
</tr>
[...]

i've not understood if the problem came from the virtual host configuration
or something else...

Thanks.
