Unless I'm missing something, this setup will throw away the entire
"batch" if the remote site can't be contacted (or its spool is full).
Not very nice, IMHO. Nntpsend a o do indeed make more sense - and if you
use nntpsend, be sure to use the C news version (by Jean-Francois Lamy)
that does C style locking, unlike the B'ish one in the nntp distribution.
