Could anyone tell me how to post news using mail?
If you use sendmail, here's stuff for sendmail.cf:
# Top-level newsgroup names:
CGcomp misc news rec sci soc talk unix-pc ddn alt gnu u3b pubnet
# At some suitable point in S0:
R$=G.$* $#news$:$1.$2 Posting to news
# Don't forget to define the mailer:
Mnews, P=/usr/lib/news/recnews, F=DFMls, M=131071, A=recnews $u
Newsgroup names get used directly in this scheme; no need to maintain
hordes of aliases in /usr/lib/aliases to push things around to the
right places.
