Mailman will function as an NNTP client on behalf of a list in both directions. > What I'm trying is setting up INN so it sends messages for the list > to the respective list address. I would not do that. Asymmetric paths are usually headaches to deal with. For example, I seem to recall that there were news clients that had a "post and mail" operation. Mailman does not deduplicate across messages (the subscriber "no dups" setting is used to keep an explicitly addressed subscriber in To or CC from receiving both a direct mail copy and the list copy, not keeping Mailman from receiving and distributing the same message twice), so in that case without a custom rule to discard duplicate messages, Mailman might receive and distribute the exact same message twice, once received via NNTP and once via LMTP. > But could mailman also pull news from nntp?
