hi all!

i've been experimenting with packet processing using python3 and the new
eprogs.net and epreproc.net hooks in network2.

i've had some success in getting the python3 scripts to read packets and delete
packets.

one of the test functions i made was for the epreproc.net script intercept
email sent to "AUTOSEND@%my_node%" and process it as if i had autosend.
it currently accepts the name of the SUB to resend, and will call "wwivutil net
send SUBNAME nodenum 5"

i tested it with nodes 60 61 and 63 for a SUB that i share among the three.
the trouble i ran into was that the messages that were resent were marked as
dupes and ended up getting discarded.

but this is progress. :)
