Re: I'd like to see...
Posting to another site can be handled easily if that site runs a mail that
involves aliasing.  If a site (running ucb mail for example) wants outsiders
to be able to post into its 'general' newsgroup, it can set up a mail alias
that pipes to something like recnews to post the article (many sites
already have this).  Then you just mail to site!newsgroup

This is not the best, for setting this up probably requires that you are
superuser.  Somebody who is not superuser could have a process wake up every
so often and check for mail to the newsuser and post it with recnews, but
that's pretty kludgy.
