inews

   <messaging, application> A {Unix} program for posting {Usenet}
   news articles, written by Rich $alz <[email protected]> for
   {InterNetNews}.  inews reads an article (perhaps with headers)
   from a file or {standard}, adds some {headers} and possibly a
   {signature}, and, if the article passes some consistency
   checks (too much quoting, non-existent {newsgroup}) then inews
   sends the article to the local news {server} for distribution.

   If an unapproved posting is made to a {moderated} newsgroup,
   inews will try to send the article to the moderator (specified
   in a configuration file) by {electronic mail}.
