Gmane

Gmane

Gmane (pronounced "mane") is an e-mail to news gateway. It allows users to access electronic mailing lists as if they were Usenet newsgroups, and also through a variety of web interfaces. Gmane is an archive; it never expires messages (unless explicitly requested by users). Gmane also supports importing list postings made prior to a list's inclusion on the service.

Incoming mail is checked by SpamAssassin and anti-virus software so that spam and viruses are hidden or deleted. Since Gmane is a bidirectional gateway, you can also post on the mailing lists. Outgoing mail is checked by TMDA to make sure that no spam will be posted to the lists using Gmane.

The project was initiated in 2001 by Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen, one of the authors of Gnus, a newsreader for Emacs. It began operating publicly on 11 February 2002 after a one-month test period.

as of|2008|9|17, Gmane's homepage boasts inclusion of 60,457,704 messages in its archives, from a total of 10,359 mailing lists.

Example

The [http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l WikiEN-l mailing list] is an electronic mailing list for discussion concerning English-language Wikipedia. Via the standard email interface, users post messages by emailing them to wikien-l@lists.wikimedia.org, and these are forwarded by email to everyone who subscribes to the list.

Gmane permits users to access this mailing list as if it were a Usenet newsgroup instead, by using the news server news.gmane.org and group name gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.english. Messages posted to the list by email will appear in the Gmane newsgroup, and vice versa.
