< messaging , application > A Unix program for posting Usenet news articles, written by Rich $alz rsalz@uunet.uu.net 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 .
