In CNews, this is trivially done by adding one line to the sys file, defining a new outgoing feed listing all the relevant groups and distributions, and specifying the commandline to be executed which is supposed to send out the outgoing message to that ``feed.'' This command, in our case, should be a mail-sending program, e.g. /bin/mail user@somewhere.com. This is often adequate to get the job done. We are sure almost every Usenet news software system will have an equally easy way of piping the feed of a newsgroup to an email address.
