Along with Decapitate (see other post), I'm looking at writing a program 
to process .wrk files before KA9Q runs.

The prime reason for doing this is to automatically (but optionally) send 
all mail via a "smart host" such as post.demon.co.uk. It should be able 
to handle exceptions (such as news.demon.co.uk, or local mail which 
needn't leave the system at all).

I'm also looking at ways to reduce online time for mailing list managers 
by catching mail being sent to several recipients at the same time where 
one (or more) addressees are local, and generate a duplicate mail for 
local delivery. (Typically, running a mailing list requires receiving 
mail for the list, sending it out to the list, then receiving it again to 
a local mailbox (assuming you have subscribed to the list yourself) - 
this would cut out the final step.) The intention is to allow (say) every 
10th mail to be sent as normal if desired (thus testing the mailing list 
mechanism is working). 

Alternatively, I might write mail to local mailboxes to 
~/spool/mail/*.txt directly, thus not requiring you to run KA9Q at all to 
deliver local mail. If I do this I will need to add "From " and 
"Received: " lines to the rewritten mail - what is the correct format for 
these? 

Some handling of the alias file will be necessary, but I'll probably just 
not process anything which has an alias listed for the time being.

Thoughts?

Mark.
