I've been trying to use (bnews 2.11) recnews to move mail to a local newsgroup by using the line test: "|/usr/lib/news/recnews test.group" in /usr/lib/smail/aliases. Messages posted to 'test' end up in the bit bucket, and /usr/lib/news/log says it can't get the user's name. Trying test: "|/usr/lib/news/recnews test.group kmcvay" produced the same result. I can't find anything else in the bnews [recnews] doc that's being left out, so I've either missed something or my news is broken (distinct possibility, given my lack of skill). Can anyone suggest what the problem is, or provide a better way to redirect mailing lists to local newsgroups?
