The "sendsys" control message causes a copy of your news "sys" file
to be mailed to the requester.  It was included in news a long time
ago to (I assume) provide a method of gathering information for
mapping.  I'm not sure it really serves much purpose anymore
and it can probably be removed in future releases of news without
anyone missing it.
