Sometime in the future we plan on moving from MH bboards to usenet for
local bboards.  In the meantime, I'm trying to set up an interface such
that postings to one go to the other so they are duplicate message
bases.  I'm using the sys file and the MULTICAST option to send usenet
postings to the appropriate bboards, but it's not quite clear how to 
get the bboard postings through recnews without causing an infinite
posting loop.  If anyone out there has ever set up a local bidirectional
gateway like this (we are using MMDFII, not sendmail), please let me
know how you accomplished this.  Email replies, I'll summarize.

Thanks in advance...
