I haven't made any mods to Snews in that respect; at the moment it's 
just a few lines of perl to find mail2news@, delete the .wrk file and 
rename the .txt to .nws.  As I mentioned in dis.pc the initial attempt
just posts all .nws files from mqueue to the first server that accepts
posting.

Of course what I omitted there is that 2.16d falls over shortly 
afterwards due to a NULL ptr deref in the command parser.  I've tested 
GremNOS down to zero free memory and recovered from it OK although 
what usually happens on-line is a resource deadlock and the idle timer 
expires...

Cheers, Graham.
