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
