If your news-admin is friendly (mine is :-), you can have him/her put
an entry in the 'sys' file to mail the articles as they come in.
Looks something like:

MAIL-fred:comp.portable.waterproof,rec.hottubbing::mail fred@waterisus.com

Fred won't be able to post, but he can reply to the author easily, if
he has an RFC-822-groking mailer (probably a better thing anyway :-).

Just another news admin,
