I understand mailman will send messages via NNTP. But how about the other way round?
Mailman will function as an NNTP client on behalf of a list in both directions.
Right, that's the way I have it set up right now.
What I'm trying is setting up INN so it sends messages for the list to the respective list address.
I would not do that.
Asymmetric paths are usually headaches to deal with.
yep ... headaches ...
So thanks a lot for clarifying. There's only one issue left I'm seeing right now. Mailman does not rewrite the Newsgroups: header. Thus mua's like Thunderbird which also talk NNTP offer to reply to the newsgroup instead of to the list. Arguably this might be called a bug in thunderbird, but I think it would be reasonable if mailman would change "Newsgroups:" to "X-Newsgroups:" to avoid these kinds of pitfalls.
