   yes, first step is to make a email mailbox to irex, and next step is to make a   
   procmail script on it that removes spam headers not wanted in fidonet, when   
   headers is minimal then procmail step is done :)   
      
   next step is to make irex fetch mail from pop3 and gate it to fidonet, how   
   this works i dont know, but irex can do it since i was mailhost for one that   
   did it    
      
    TL> Any hints would be greatly appreciated.   
      
   such as GPL-v2 ? :)   
      
   is it btw mailman your list is running on ?, if so it can make nntp   
   sending/recieving, dont know if that is helpfull in your setup   
      
   else i think of make perl script called from procmail, but i dont know perl   
   enough to make one   
      
      
    Regards Benny
