# The news/p5-Gateway port

## p5-Gateway-0.42p4 – perl module to gateway between news and mail

## Description

    Essentially, robomoderators, moderation support programs, and mail
    to news gateways are all the same thing.  They take an incoming
    message, from either an MTA or from a user filtering program like
    procmail, or perhaps even directly from a user's MUA, perform a
    variety of rewrites required to turn an RFC 822 message into an RFC
    1036 message, possibly perform a variety of checks and additional
    rewrites suited to the particular application, and then hand the
    message off to a news server.  News to mail gateways just do exactly
    the same thing in reverse.

    This is an attempt to generalize out the framework, so that people
    don't have to keep writing the same code to read e-mail messages,
    post messages, send e-mail messages, and do the common rewrites,
    and instead can concentrate on the *interesting* parts, namely the
    checks and rewrites they need for their specific application.
    News::Gateway is *not* a robomoderator or gateway in and of itself.
    Rather, it's a toolkit for *building* robomoderators and gateways
    that attempts to take care of all of the nitpicking details for you
    and drastically decrease the amount of code you have to write.

    And if your problem happens to coincide with one of the supplied
    example programs, you may not have to write any code at all.
