The lines in 2.11 sendbatch that actually do the work are as follows.
The exact lines may differ, depending on your localize.sh configuration.

			(eval $ECHO; eval $CMD $COMP $C7) |
			if test -s /usenet/spool/batch/$rmt.cmd
			then
				/usenet/spool/batch/$rmt.cmd
			else
				uux - -r -gz $rmt!$RNEWS
			fi

This means that if you want to send news to site "bar" via site "foo"
as you describe above, you can create a file in your batch directory
called "bar.cmd" which contains a line something like:
	uux - -r -gz foo!rnews bar

You don't need to modify sendbatch, just use the features it already provides.
