Aren't there a million-and-a-half mail to news gateway implementations
in the world? Is the problem that we're using some
written-in-ruby-but-not-quite-working gateway rather than one written in
(horrors!) perl or python?

It seems like this kind of gatewaying is a solved problem, and we could
save some pain by using an existing solution, and then spend time
writing marvelous new code, rather than debugging a ruby mail-news
gateway!

Cheers,
Sam
