[alt.hackers] The big brother newsgroup

Around here the monitor newsgroup is called lbl.outbound. I put the
hooks into inews. It renames conflicting headers like "Newsgroups" and
"Message-id" by prepending "X-Original-" to them. If the message is
moderated, I add a "X-Moderated-Address" header. I also put the
newsgroup(s) in the subject to make it easier to see. This posting will
probably show up in lbl.outbound with a subject of "[alt.hackers] The
big brother newsgroup".

Hacking the "Followup-to" to be the original "Newsgroups" is a good
idea! I'll have to put that in.

On second thought, the right way to do it is to only install a
followup-to header in the monitor copy if there isn't a followup-to
already there. I just finished doing this and it works very nicely.
