NAME
mail-news - send mail to newsgroups
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/news/mail-news
<arguments for inews>
DESCRIPTION
Mail-news
sends a mail message to one or more newsgroups.
It alters the message header to ensure that it satisfies certain
constraints imposed by inews version B.2.11, mainly to insure that
there is a subject and that included text does not cause rejections.
Mail-news
is normally invoked by sendmail from a mailer channel; it may also be invoked
by an alias entry (in /usr/lib/aliases) of the form:
list-name: "|/usr/lib/news/mail-news [inews argument list]"
