Hello,

        msgs reminded me the old UNIX news command and then, I started to
fiddle around it. As I want to post stuff, it works good with msgs -s.
However, in the man pages, they suggest:

     The line
           msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s"

     should be included in /etc/mail/aliases (see newaliases(1)) to enable
     posting of messages.

after running newaliases, I expected (maybe shouldn't I?) I could email to
msgs 'user' to post a news. But I'm getting an error:

Jul  2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35214]: f62FHjx35214: from=root, size=48, class=0, 
nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=root@localhost

Jul  2 11:17:45 gateway sendmail[35216]: f62FHjx35214: f62FHjw35216: DSN: unknown 
mailer error 13

and hints?

regards,
ian
