I would like to hold all incoming news until late at night (even though
it may be received at all times during the day), before unpacking it (using
rnews).

However, I'm unwilling to just stall the whole uucp system that long. Mail
that comes in should be immediately unpacked. I'm using a HDB based uucp
on an HP 9000/370 running HP-UX 6.5.

Any suggestions? Any one out there doing this already?
