My, plonking lots of mail into innd (which seems to be the only free
news server out there) is Lots Of Pain.  It's awfully finicky in what
it accepts -- lines longer than 1KB, the Date header has to be valid,
and the Message-ID, and the From, and there has to be a Subject in
there.

I mean, I think that's great and all, but, well.

Anyway, I've hacked away at innd to skip all those test, and now it's
willing to accept anything I throw at it, no matter how badly formed.
As small step for, uhm, ah.

I was thinking of funneling the gnus-bug mails to one group, the ding
mails to another, and set up a non-expiring gnu.emacs.gnus there as
well.  And create to groups for ietf drafts and rfcs, to make it
easier to keep up with what's happening.

Is there some sort of ready-made procmail (or whatever) setup for
having all the mail that's sent to, say "ding@quimby.gnus.org" spooled 
in inn?  I guess one should run, er, rnews on the mail, after
massaging it slightly.  (Like adding the Newsgroups: gnus.ding" header 
and possibly renaming any offending headers (like NNTP-Posting-Host
and the like.))
