stdin2news is a simple STDIN to news poster. I wrote it as a replacement to rnews for one of tasks in my environment .

stdin2news license is GNU GPL.

1. Does NOT require msgid in your data - presumes it's generated by news server. Though you may supply correct msgid in your text.
2. Does NOT log msgid of posted messages. Though it'll be present in one of debug files, if you turned on debugging (after 'recommened ID') .
3. Does NOT store messages that where failed to post.
4. Accepts data to post ONLY from STDIN.
5. Does NOT require nor open any innd configs - you may have no innd and be able to post w/ this script to other destinations.
6. Does NOT understand batch format: ALL data from STDIN 'll be posted as message.
