In /usr/lib/aliases, I have a line like this to make a two-way gateway to
a local newsgroup:

ietf-hosts: "|grep -v '^From '|/usr/news/bin/inject/inews -h -n ietf.hosts -a Automatically"

Reflector:	(defined in /usr/news/lib/mailpaths)
		"ietf.hosts ietf-hosts@nnsc.nsf.net"
Local incoming alias, see above.

The grep command removed the unix-header line, which is not RFC-822.
Works really well.
