Would it work to change your your machine name for news? Could your mail
be addressed to ast-sy and your mail to art-sy.news?

If you had two Systems lines - mailfeed & newsfeed - that were the
same except for system name and calling times, and if you had seperate
Permissions file entries which used different MYNAME's - art-sy &
art-sy.news, would you be able to split your news feed from your mail?

I have not tried this, but I wonder if it might work.
Are there any uucp experts that might know?
