This is an interesting question, so I did a little experiment. I set
the permissions on a directory in /usr/spool/news to 600. Then I
submitted an article or two. They got posted okay, but no one but news
could read them. A little playing with the setuid bit in things
connected with sendbatch, and it seems willing to send things out.
The point of this excercise is to be able to pass a group through my
site, not allow my readers to see it, and have an expire on it
controllable at the group level.
I make no claims that this is a perfect solution, just that it
indicates a possible solution to the problem.
