Hi folks,

this might be a FAQ but I don't know the answer yet :-)

I am kind of fed up with lots of junky mailing lists coming directly into my
mailbox. Therefore, I intend to feed these mails into our newsserver (having
local newsgroups for that purpose). Reading the stuff there would be more
convenient for me and my colleagues as well.

I already have each mailing list coming to a different local mail address, thus
I know what is what and don't need to scan my mailbox. All I need is a good 
pipe...

Q: Is there a program that takes a usual e-mail as input and posts it to a 
certain newsgroup? This should include some header-editing (adding Newsgroup:,
removing Received etc.).

My environment is UNIX / SunOS.

Thank you very much for any help. Please, answer directly to me - I'll 
summarize later to the list if necessary.
