NAME

       postnews - Post a Usenet article to a server

SYNOPSIS

       postnews [OPTIONS] SERVER

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the postnews command.  This manual page was written for
       the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       Postnews is used to post Usenet articles (including headers) from stdin to a server.   The
       article  must  at  least contain the headers From:, Newsgroups:, Subject:, a newline and a
       body.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options  starting  with
       two dashes ("-").  A summary of options is included below.

              Show summary of options.

       -v, --verbose
