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. Gmane is an archive, it never expires messages.
Incoming mail is checked by SpamAssassin and anti-virus software so that spams 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, an email client for Emacs.
