I've tried a number of aggregators (nttp/rss, raggle, amphetadesk,
centericq) but finally decided to handle RSS feeds as plain emails. I
tried fetchrss (java based) but didn't really like it. Finally I
stumbled upon rss2email[1]. I've set it up as a cron-job, and it works
perfect. The only "downside" is that it's a python hack <smile>.

On debian simply do 'apt-get install rss2email' and you're set.
