NAME
postnews - Post a Usenet article to a server
SYNOPSIS
postnews [OPTIONS] SERVER
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the postnews command. This manual
page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
Postnews is used to post Usenet articles (including headers) from stdin
to a server. The article must at least contain the headers From:,
Newsgroups:, Subject:, a newline and a body.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes ("-"). A summary of options is
included below.
