Objective:
  Create local newsgroups which are moderated.

Problem:
  According to O'Reilly & Associates (Managing UUCP and Usenet -
  p.194): "News version 2.11 will automatically mail postings to
  moderated newsgroups to the moderator.... The mailpaths file should
  contain the address of the nearest backbone site.... When someone
  posts to a moderated group, the article will be forwarded to the
  backbone site, from which it will be mailed to the current moderator
  of the group."

  If postings are automatically mailed to the backbone site, then how
  is it possible to "intercept" these postings and forward them to the
  moderator?  Also, how can the moderator be granted privilege to post
  articles without having the software mail his/her postings to the backbone?

Please e-mail all responses to me, unless of course you think this is
a topic which would be of benefit to the rest of the net.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
