You don't need any '"patches" to make it work'.  The code is there already.
The mailpaths file can be extended, as ngmatch() is called to try to find
a specific address to deliver the newsgroups' articles before falling back
on the "catch-all", "backbone".  The file is searched in order, so if we
insert (before the "backbone" line) a line like:
	news.admin	usenet

any non-approved article in news.admin will be mailed to user "usenet"
on the local machine.
