Stuart's suggestion is fine if you have lots of spare disk space.

Here's a simpler solution, usable if you feed batches and can easily
identify the top-level directory or directories of the groups you
feed (i.e., you feed something straightforward, like all of news
or all of comp):

find /usr/spool/news/comp -type f -mtime -2 -print >> /usr/spool/batch/xyz

This will feed the last 2 days' news in comp.* to site "xyz".
