  inews
       
           A {Unix} program for posting {Usenet}
          news articles, written by Rich $alz  for
          {InterNetNews}.  inews reads an article (perhaps with headers)
          from a file or {standard}, adds some {header}s 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}.
