I have a need to pass on every news article in a particular newsgroup
to a friend who is a few hops from my site. What is the proper way
to do it?

I tried the following 2 methods by inserting these lines into the sys file
but both did not seem to work:

Method I: using sendmail: This one did not appear to work:

test1:world,rec.sport.football::/usr/lib/sendmail -t sun!rtech!llama!joe

Method 2: using the mail program:

test2:world,rec.sport.football:F:/usr/ucb/mail -s "testing" sun!rtech!llama!joe

This 2nd method produces an error message: could not append to /usr/ucb/mail ...
in the /news/lib/log file.

What did I do wrong?

Tony
