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?
