  I have just installed Cnews to replace our old Bnews but I am having a
  problem with redirecting a mailing list into a newsgroup.  Under Bnews we
  had a mail alias to pipe the mailing list into "recnews newsgroup.name".
  How can I do this with Cnews ?

After some experimentation, I settled on (for example):

my-mailing-list: "|/bin/sed 1d |/usr/local/news/bin/inject/inews -h -n my-dist.my-mailing-list"
