Your question is too vague (note that I have no access to the
sources/binaries group, only comp.sys.amiga.tech), could you
elaborate?

It ought to work fine, especially under 1.06

News batching is slated for 1.07 or 1.08 (I hope, cross fingers),
possibly with a CNews port, otherwise I'll write up something.
You can currently create pseudo news groups with an alias
(see the manual page for the Aliases file). I.E. create an alias
on one machine 'the hub' and simply send mail to that alias.
