  OSSP lmtp2nntp - Mail to News Gateway
  Version 1.3a1 (22-Apr-2004)

  ABSTRACT

  The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an LMTP service for use in conjunction
  with an MTA (like Sendmail), providing a reliable real-time mail to news
  gateway. Input messages get their headers slightly reformatted to match
  Usenet news article format. The article is then posted or feeded into
  a remote NNTP service (like INN). Delivery must take place immediately
  or the transaction fails. OSSP lmtp2nntp relies on the queuing
  capabilities of the MTA in order to provide a fully reliable service.
  For this the program returns proper delivery status notification which
  indicates successful completed action, persistent transient failure or
  permanent failure.
