Here's something about how someone integrated Twisted with Mailman (our list's software)
for an easy nntp server to use for the mail2news gatewaying for Mailman lists. I wonder if ibiblio
could implement this?

Mailman

I wanted to test out some news/mail gatewaying for Mailman 2.1 but I didn't want to go through the hassle of actually connecting things up to a real news server, and I /definitely/ didn't want to actually try to install inn or some nonsense (I'd like to do some other work this week :).

I wished I had something like Lib/smtpd.py in the Python distro for the server side of NNTP, then it dawned on me that I remember Moshe and crew saying that Twisted comes with a news server. Well, let's just see how easy it would be to hook up.

You guys have a big problem, because it was /way/ too easy to do! How are you
going to make the big consulting bucks? :)

Three commands and I had an nntp server with a single newsgroup that was featured enough to connect Mozilla to, and to point Mailman's gateway at and actually get messages flowing back and forth. Congratulations!
