[news.software.b] mailing list into C News newsgroup

I've read the man pages for C News including newsmail(8),
but I'm still unsure how to get mail from a mailing list
transformed into news in a locally created newsgroup.  
The local group is already created, but I'm not sure what
to put in /etc/aliases to process the mail into news.

I'm sure that this is possible, but it isn't very clear to
me how this is done.  It's probably better to send me mail 
than to post since this seems like a "new C News admin"
kind of question...

By the way, I'm running C News on an Ultrix 3.1 VAX and
find that it compiled and installed cleanly {kudos to 
Geoff and Henry since Ultrix is broken in several places
including cc(1) }.  More to the point, it appears to be
much kindler and gentler to the cpu (a VAX 750) than the
fairly old B 2.11 installation had been, and we can really
use the cycles.
