EMail to Newsgroup Mapping

Introduction

RumorMill can accept EMail via a POP account. To direct each EMail item to an appropriate newsgroup, it may be necessary to setup rules to map EMail to Newsgroups. The mappings are created by telling RumorMill which headers in the EMail should be examined and what text should be found in that header. If the specified header matches, then the EMail a "Newsgroups:" header is added to the EMail with the newsgroup specified. This will cause the EMail to be added to the newsgroup as though it had been posted via a newsreader client.

EMail header (e.g., X-Sender):

Enter the name of the header that RumorMill should examine. Do not include the ":" of the header.

Text to match in header in header:

Enter the text string you want RumorMill to match in the specified header.

Post to this newsgroup:

Enter the name of a newsgroup that exists in your RumorMill installation.
