I've revisited this and implemented everything that's necessary to enable mail submissions, but I ran out of time making it actually and properly work. If someone wants to take a shot, please pass me an SSH identity and I can let you log in. There are still some problems related to parsing e-mail, but most complexity comes from the fact that the machine cannot actually receive mail directly, but mail must be relayed from a.mx.madduck.net. This works, and mail you send to sub...@dpn.debian.net should now get spamchecked and eventually arrives at .procmailrc of the user running this, but error handling still needs attention. Remember that the site is proof-of-concept of the workflow detailed at http://dpn.debian.net/workflow/. In particular, I won't have time to administer the ikiwiki instance, and there are probably better tools out there to implement a publishing workflow, including Plone, something based on Django or Turbogears, or maybe Wordpress.
