It's in MANUAL.DOC :

   %  Diverting mail into Usenet

      alias  | post newsgroup

      Takes an incoming mail message, and diverts it into a
      newsgroup. Appropriate header munging is performed to allow
      the message to flow as news.

      This feature is mainly used to divert a mailing list into
      a local newsgroup, for users to read while not cluttering
      a mailbox. (DO NOT do this with mainstream Usenet newsgroups,
      people will become VERY upset).

      Another use of this feature is to allow people to post
      from a remote location.

      The Unix version of "| post" works only from within Waffle.
