Is there anything like procmail for USENET? Something like could trn a little
more capability than it's KILL file setup?
I don't know of anything on the client end. On the server side, it's
possible to use procmail to do pattern matching on incoming messages
for a given site.
I use procmail on my incoming newsfeed to scan for URLs in certain
newsgroups -- if there's a match, I repost the message to an internal
newsgroup.
I haven't messed with news in a LONG time (about 2 years), so I'm
a bit rusty. Doing it with inn with this entry in the newsfeeds
file:
