OSSP lmtp2nntp is an LMTP service for use in conjunction with an MTA (like
Sendmail), providing a reliable, real-time mail to news gateway. Input messages get their
headers slightly reformatted to match Usenet news article format, and the article is
posted or feeded into a remote NNTP service (like INN). Delivery must take place
immediately or the transaction fails. OSSP lmtp2nntp relies on the queuing capabilities of
the MTA in order to provide a fully reliable service. For this the program returns proper
delivery status notification which indicates successful completed action, persistent
transient failure, or permanent failure.
