I assume you mean you want your machine to participate as a USENET
node.
Read comp.bbs.waffle. Waffle is a widely used, inexpensive package
that implements for MS-DOS machines uucp (uucico, uux, etc.), and user
interfaces for news and mail, as well as other, more common BBS
features. The Unix version relies on the underlying Unix to implement
news transport, but looks identical to the MS-DOS version from the
user's perspective.
You really should complain to your news administrator that your
default return address (ali@utrcv1) isn't valid. (I'm assuming, based
on experience, that "ali@utrcv1" wouldn't work.) In the meantime you
should include a Reply-To: header.
