I am hacking a library i a language called python for fetching/posting
mails from hotmail, it is based on a program running fetching mail and
putting it into nnfolders (made by me of course :-).

I am considering writing some kind of backend or such thingy for gnus
in lisp (hey who are you.. and whats that funny looking shirt with
long arms.. OUMPF), but have some major design issues left :-)

I wonder if you my fellow gnus-ers could help me.. 

It would be easy to write a simple nntp-server program that gnus
talked to and fetched mail from, but the main problem is how to post,
and delete messages??

Any ideas.. or should I go over and implement something in lisp.. I
would preferr to get the emails 'home' to the local disk.. How do I
tell message.el to send the message to some other place than the
normal smtp server or whatever.. 

Ahh well, any ideas are welcome..
