I have some sort of similar ones from a time when I ran suck and piped it thru procmail, onward into nnml groups. It sort of worked but had some problems I got sick of and scrapped the project. Always interesting to see how someone else does it. One of the things that got me thinking inn would do something similar is that suck expects inn to be present, and to have created an history file. Has other provisions that rely or at least cater to inn. Not that it doesn't work by itself. It does, but it wasn't clear in your post if you use suck in conjunction with inn or standalone.
