	You can inject mailing lists directly into
	news yourself. Just subscribe to the list
	using a suitable alias, and in your "/usr/lib/aliases"
	file send the mail to a script that injects
	into a newsgroup. Make the newsgroup moderated
	and put the newsgroup's address in the
	"/usr/lib/news/mailpaths" file.

	If you're running "smail", I have a patch
	which allows piping of mail into a program
	or script, if you need it.

Cheers,
